A 10,000-person rehearsal concert validated the arena’s systems, confirming readiness for a public store launch before its September debut.

Overview

  • The arena hosted a confidential concert with 10,000 attendees to test access controls, audiovisual systems, catering outlets and emergency evacuation procedures.
  • Interior outfitting is in its final phase, featuring a Valencia Basket museum, video analysis and press rooms, team offices and a training court.
  • An official Valencia Basket store will open on August 25, offering daily retail hours independent of events.
  • Additional technical rehearsals are scheduled through August ahead of the arena’s first public concert, a Nino Bravo tribute on September 6.
  • Privately funded with €280 million by Juan Roig on council-ceded land, the 47,000 m² venue replaces La Fonteta and aims to spur cultural and urban renewal in Quatre Carreres.
