The Super Bock Arena (Pavilhão Rosa Mota) is a cultural and sports arena in Porto, Portugal.
History
[edit | edit source]
The pavilion opened in 1954 on the site of Porto's Crystal Palace (Palácio de Cristal), demolished in 1951 to make room for the pavilion. It was previously known as Pavilhão dos Desportos. In 1991, it was renamed after Portuguese, European, World and Olympic marathon running champion Rosa Mota.
In 2014, after a public call for tenders, a consortium between Lucios and PEV Entertainment was responsible for the rehabilitation of the arena.[1] The initial cost of the rehabilitation was 8 million euros.[1]
In November 2018, Porto's Municipal Chamber announced that following a naming agreement with Super Bock, the company's name was to be added to the arena, in the course of the 20-year private concession of the space.[2]
The rehabilitation process was concluded in 2019. The arena now has the capacity to undertake events up to 8,000 people and is branded Super Bock Arena.[3]
Besides cultural and sports events, the arena can now also function as a congress centre.[3]
