Ásvellir is a sports venue in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland with a gym, pool, basketball court and football field.
Two decades ago in 1996 a company and the Hafnarfjörður council signed an agreement to subsidize the construction of the complex. Finished in 1999, it started to host tournaments in 2000. [1]
In 2014, the Ásvellir gym part was refurbished by polishing the gym surface, grinding up the floor and inserting the lines again. [2] Its roof began to leak in October 2016 seeing that there was a storm. [3]
In 2018, a new basketball court in the Ásvellir area was opened. It was named Ólafssalur, in memory of Ólafur Rafnsson, former president of FIBA Europe. [4] Ólafssalur has a capacity of 700. [5]
