BRAVE Combat Federation last night confirmed that the SSE Arena will be the venue for its next event to be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on June 9, 2018.
The SSE Arena is Northern Ireland’s biggest indoor venue with a capacity to accommodate 10,000 fans. The venue is famous for hosting concerts and sporting events.
It recently hosted the UFC and World Wrestling Entertainment live events.
The venue was short-listed for ‘International Large Venue of the Year’ (Outside of North America) in the 2005 Pollstar Concert Industry Awards, making it one of the top six major concert venues in the world.
“We are glad to enter the European market. The initiative founded by Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa has made an incredible growth and is among the top five global organisations in Mixed Martial Arts,” said Brave president Mohammed Shahid.
“Our entry into Europe will have far reaching impact on tourism, investment and economic sectors.”
