The RTL Spiroudome ( officially: Palais des sports du Pays de Charleroi ) is a multi-purpose hall in the Belgian town of Charleroi. The basketball team of the Spirou Charleroi BC receives here since 1996 their opponents to the home games. The Arena has a total capacity of 6,300 spectators, distributed in 5,440 seats, 16 VIP boxes, each with 10 seats and 700 business seats.

Originally designed as a tennis hall for a Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy; the hall was too small. Especially for the needs of the Spirou Charleroi BC and for this reason the Arena 2002 has been extended. The concrete dome was erected above the existing building, the game operation was thus not affected.

The European Association of Basketball ULEB chose the RTL Spiroudome out as a venue for the finals of ULEB Cup in 2004. In the following three years (2005, 2006, 2007 ) remained the finals of the competition in the Belgian city in Hainaut.

In tennis the Fed Cup team in Belgium uses the multi-purpose hall as well as a venue; so the final of the Fed Cup was held on 16 and 17 September 2006. The Belgians were subject to the Italians on home soil with 2:3 games. Between 4 to 6 March 2011, the Belgian Davis Cup team defeated the Spaniards in Charleroi with Rafael Nadal in the first round with 1:4 games.

In addition, see the hall, for example, Concerts (including Night of the Proms, Kim Wilde, Alison Moyet, Midge Ure, Simple Minds ), game of basketball show group Harlem Globetrotters and dance events. The election of Miss Belgium 2009 was held in RTL Spiroudome. The Turkish-born Zeynep Sever was crowned at the event on 23 December 2008 winner.
