History

La Fonteta was originally built in 1983. Valencia Basket started to play its games in the arena in 1987. The arena was also used as the home arena of the women's basketball team, Ros Casares Valencia, and the futsal team Valencia FS.

On 9 to 11 April 2010, the Fonteta hosted the Final Four of the 2009–10 EuroLeague Women season, where Ros Casares Valencia was defeated in the final by Spartak Moscow Region.

In 2016, Valencia Basket financed the renovation of the arena with €500,000, and also installed a new €150,000 center-hung scoreboard.[3][4]

It will host several group phase matches for the FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2021 with France and the country.

The construction of the Roig Arena, a new court located in the nearby plot used as parking lot for the attendants to La Fonteta, started in June 2020.[5]
