The Casal España Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena currently in construction in Valencia, Spain.
History and description[]
The plot is located between the streets Ángel Villena, Bomber Ramón Duart and Antonio Ferrandis, next to La Fonteta;[1] it was used as parking lot for the attendants to the former venue and L'Alqueria.[2] The arena is being funded by Juan Roig, who created the company Licampa 1617 S.L. in order to carry out the project.[3] After a 50-year concession, the facilities will revert to the municipality.[1]
The venue is expected to have a capacity of 15,600 for basketball fixtures and 18,600 for concerts.[4] It will also feature around 1,300 parking spaces.[1]
Building works started on 29 June 2020.[5]
As of 2020, it has a tentative opening date set for 2023.[1] It is expected to replace La Fonteta as main venue of Valencia Basket.[6]
