Since opening in September 2025, the facility has hosted over 300 events, including Valencia Basket matches, corporate functions, and large-scale musical concerts, attracting between 1.5 and 1.7 million visitors. Music has been a primary driver for the venue, with approximately 800,000 attendees participating in 125 concerts featuring artists such as Hans Zimmer, Ed Sheeran, and Rosalía. The arena has addressed local infrastructure gaps, allowing Valencia to host international tours that previously bypassed the region.

Organized by GEPACV, the event will feature prominent figures such as LALIGA president Javier Tebas and EuroLeague CEO Chus Bueno to discuss topics including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and governance in sports. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-06: Roig Arena marks first year as major European multipurpose venue Valencia's Roig Arena marks its first year of operation, hosting over 300 events and up to 1.7 million visitors, significantly boosting the city's capacity for international music tours and sports. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/roig-arena-marks-first-year-as-major-european-multipurpose-venue ### 2026-09-03: Valencia to host X Sports Management Congress at Roig Arena The X Sports Management Congress will be held on October 1-2 at Valencia's Roig Arena, featuring industry leaders like Javier Tebas to discuss AI, technology, and governance in sports. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/valencia-to-host-x-sports-management-congress-at-roig-arena --- Cite as: Roig Arena operations and events in Valencia.
