History

edit

Opened in 1991, the initial capacity of the arena was 3,000 people. It was temporarily expanded to 5,000 with additional seats from 1993 to 1996 when BC Andorra played in Liga ACB. It also hosts various sporting events such as team handball and futsal matches.[3]

In 2011, the Poliesportiu d'Andorra hosted the Final Eight of the roller hockey's European League[3][4] and the 2021 WSE Cup.[5]

In 2014, after the second promotion of BC Andorra to the Spanish top basketball league, the National Government decided to expand the arena to 5,000 seats.[6] The venue has other complementary spaces such as a weight training gym, meeting rooms and VIP spaces.[7]
