Roig Arena (Valencian: [ˈrɔdʒ aˈɾena]), previously proposed as Casal España Arena or Valencia Arena,[1] is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Valencia, Spain, that opened in September 2025.[2]
History
[edit]The plot is located between the streets Ángel Villena, Bomber Ramón Duart and Antonio Ferrandis, next to La Fonteta;[3] it was used as a parking lot for the attendants to the former venue and L'Alqueria.[4] The arena is being funded by Juan Roig, who created the company Licampa 1617 S.L. to carry out the project.[5] After a fifty-year concession, the facilities will revert to the municipality.[3] It will host matches for the 2028 European Men's Handball Championship.
The venue has a capacity of 15,600 for basketball fixtures, of 18,600 for 180° concerts and of 20,000 for 360° shows.[6] It also features around 1,300 parking spaces.[3]
The arena was designed by ERRE and HOK.[7] Building works started on 29 June 2020 and ended on 5 September 2025.[8]
In 2020 the arena was expected to open in 2023,[3] but was later delayed to 2025, and it was finally opened on 6 September 2025. It replaced La Fonteta as the main venue of Valencia Basket.[9]
