SM founder, the late Henry Sy, Sr., noted during the grand opening of the facility in 2012, that “The Mall of Asia Arena (MOA) is a celebration of the achievements and glory of world-class Filipino talent.” For 11 years, the ‘eye-conic’ venue has been true to its commitment to changing the game experience and elevating the quality of entertainment for Filipino audiences.
Nestled within the bustling SM MOA complex, the 64,000 plus-square meter, five-story landmark is a multi-purpose venue that can accommodate a seating capacity of 15,000, with a full-house capacity of 20,000.
Home to thrilling live sporting events
SM MOA Arena has been the home of many firsts — whether it’s basketball, volleyball, mixed martial arts, or even e-sports. Basketball highlights include the pre-season National Basketball Association (NBA) Global Games with the Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers, and when NBA legends Lebron James, Steph Curry, and Dennis Rodman came for meet-andgreet events with fans.
World-class Filipino talent in the spotlight
Here, Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid feted her solo anniversary concert alongside local icons Sarah Geronimo, Arnel Pineda, and Lea Salonga, who shared the same stage to deliver unforgettable performances.
Haven of international superstars
Lady Gaga opened the SM MOA Arena with her “Born This Way Ball” tour last 2012, which was a sold-out concert. Other superstars who have performed here are Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Madonna, Sam Smith, and Harry Styles.
