Bau, 20 August 2025 — The construction of the Bau Sports Arena at Jalan Jambusan, costing RM9 million, has reached 94 percent completion. The project, which began on 6 October 2023, spans 20 months and is expected to be completed by December 2025.

The State Assemblyman (ADUN) for Tasik Biru, Dato Henry Harry Jinep, together with the Bau District Officer, Mr. Eddy anak Nayoi, and the MYSED Head of the Social Facilities Management Section  Ms. Molina anak Luhum, visited the construction site of the Bau Sports Arena yesterday.

YB Dato Henry Harry Jinep stated that the project, under the Projek Rakyat initiative, will be managed and operated by the Sarawak Sports Corporation once completed. The construction of the arena is carried out in two phases: the first phase involves the development of multi-sports courts, while the second phase will be planned later, taking into account cost estimates and new scopes to meet the overall needs of the arena.

The facilities provided at the Bau Sports Arena include three futsal courts and six badminton courts. In addition, it will function as a multipurpose hall for indoor events such as dinners, seminars, training, and light sports activities like Zumba and pickleball.

Furthermore, the Bau Sports Arena will also house a boxing/muaythai training centre as well as a gymnasium.
