Youth Arena (Portuguese: Arena da Juventude) is an indoor arena in Deodoro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The venue hosted the Basketball and Fencing events for the Modern Pentathlon at the 2016 Summer Olympics. The arena was also to host the wheelchair fencing events for the 2016 Summer Paralympics, but they were moved to Carioca Arena 3 due to budget cuts.{{cite web|url=http://www.rio2016.com/en/youth-arena |title=Youth Arena |publisher=Rio 2016 |access-date=3 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310153125/http://www.rio2016.com/en/youth-arena |archive-date=10 March 2016 }}{{cite news | url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/olimpiadas/noticia/2015/06/rio-2016-palco-do-basquete-arena-da-juventude-comeca-ganhar-forma.html | title=Rio 2016: palco do basquete, Arena da Juventude começa a ganhar forma | work=GloboEsporte.com | date=5 June 2015 | access-date=3 March 2016 | language=pt}}
