Events
The arena hosted the 2013 Asian Under-23 Fencing Championships.[4]
In November 2015, Mongolia hosted the East Zone (EAFF) matches of 2016 AFC Futsal Championship qualification at the Sports Palace.[5]
Wrestling qualification for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was held at the arena.[6]
In December 2016, the Dalai Lama visited Mongolia and held a gathering for Mongolia Buddhists at the Sports Palace. The event caused political tension between Mongolia and China as China views the Dalai Lama as a dangerous separatist. Chinese officials postponed meetings with Mongolian officials and imposed new fees on commodity shipments because of the event causing Mongolian officials to announce that the religious leader would not be invited again.[7]
