sports hall
'Sporthalle' and 'Mehrzweckhalle' can sometimes refer to a similar large building, especially when sports also take place there. The difference lies in the purpose. A 'Sporthalle' is built and equipped mainly for sports. A 'Mehrzweckhalle' can be used for many different things, for example sports, concerts, trade fairs, or meetings. The words can be confused because sports are also possible in a 'Mehrzweckhalle'. When sports are the main focus, 'Sporthalle' is more natural. When it is about different kinds of events, 'Mehrzweckhalle' fits better.
