Estació del Nord Sports Hall

Table tennis once again formed part of
the official programme at Barcelona'92,
after having been an Olympic sport for
the first time at Seoul'88. The competition
was held in the old Estació del Nord,
completely refurbished for the holding of
this event.

Today, the Estació del Nord is a public
facility for the district of Fort Pius, and it
consists of a large multi-purpose sports
hall, which occupies the former platform
area, the vestibule and part of the east
wing; a bus station, which occupies the
whole of the west wing, and other services
for the district, which occupy the
remainder of the east wing.

The refurbishment of the competition
area and the auxiliary sections of the
venue was entirely financed by COOB'92.
