The ASA Arena, formerly Mongolian National Circus (mn|Монгол Улсын Цирк), is a circus and event venue in Sükhbaatar District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The circus building was built in 1971 with a US$7.4 million loan from Romania.[1] In 2008, the circus was privatized by former sumo grand champion Asashoryu D.Dagvadorj and then renamed the venue as Asa Circus.[2] [3] In 2020, the interior of the circus underwent renovation.[4]
The shape of the circus building resembles traditional round hat down by women in Ulaanbaatar. The building was designed by architect Ya.Sharkhuu.[2]
