New Center-hung at Peace and Friendship Arena, Athens

​​​​​

Goal Sport Software installs the new center hung and venue control platform at Peace and Friendship Arena.

Goal Sport Technology in cooperation with TGI Greece constructed the new custom center-hung of the Peace and Friendship Arena. 

Along with the hardware installation, Goal Sport Technology supplied the software-based venue control system, which raises the capacity of controlling digitally currently existing devices and the new equipment implemented to the arena's AV system, including scoreboards, game-clocks, screens, audio system, lights and sirens. The Peace and Friendship arena is an iconic basketball venue which serves as the house of Olympiacos BC team and its enthusiastic fans. Olympiacos BC and the venue managers initiated a partnership which aims to improve the stadium atmosphere on matchdays, in order to captivate the fans and create an attractive environment for sponsorships. The evolution of a new concept for Peace and Friendship Arena led to an acquisition of a new digital system including a digital center hung with two led rings and a 360º perimeter led displays.
