Helsinki's main sports and entertainment arena, previously disused due to Russian sanctions, aims to reopen in spring, providing vital event space once more.
The Helsinki Ice Hall has been closed since February 2022 due to sanctions against its Russian owners, significantly impacting local ice hockey and cultural events.
City officials threatened the arena's owners with expropriation, signaling willingness to take control if the owners did not sell voluntarily amid sanctions.
Finnish authorities will freeze any profits from the potential sale of the arena until sanctions against its Russian oligarch owners are lifted.
