The mayor of Bucharest, Stelian Bujduveanu, the last details about the ice rink “Mihai Flamaropol”: “I tell you something for the first time”
- That's how the ice rink would look like
“Last week I started the works from the famous” Flamaropol “, an ice rink that has been closed for almost 10 years, in conservation.
I entered with the teams in the site, with the promise and according to the contract that, at this time, it would be rendered to the population. A very large investment, over 175 million lei – Part of this investment agreed the City Hall of Sector 2 to assume it.
We still have a ice rink, Berceni Arena, but it doesn't compare to this ice rink. Berceni Arena has 700 seats, “Flamaropol”: 3,800, plus we will have a semi-Olympic basin, we have a basketball room, we have a gym, so we talk about a multifunctional sports center in a well defined area in Bucharest.
“Flamaropol” must be rendered back to Bucharest, “said Bujduveanu, at GSP Live.
“A Deside of Bucharest of 10 years”
Why did the work delayed, first started since 2016?
“The builder stopped the works, it was an inconsistency in the project. Later, when the builder did not assume the continuation of the works, the City Hall remained with a half construction, which had to be expected.
There have been differences between the project and the construction made. But now we are already working very well, we are optimistic: the year, in the autumn, we can open “Flamaropol”, a desire of Bucharest over 10 years”, Explained the interim mayor of the capital.

“We explore certain techniques to cover the ice”
“I announce to you for the first time, from discussions with the builder, we explore certain techniques to cover the ice so that we can do other events on that arena when it is not season and does not help us. We are talking about a multipurpose room, to provide other events, such as handball, volleyball, etc.
I do not think we can make very large competitions, but it is a technique that we study now, through which a special substance is placed over the ice surface, special panels that ensure the development of other activities. 3,800 places are not few ”, added Stelian Bujduveanu, present in the Studio of the Sports Gazette.
