A new arena which can accommodate a capacity crowd of up to 15,000 people is scheduled to go on stream on November 1 in the Villa Crespo district of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Telefónica-owned telecommunications provider Movistar has sealed a naming-rights partnership for the venue. Prior to this deal, Movistar has secured arena naming-rights partnership in Chile and Colombia. With the present naming rights agreement, the provider’s count has gone up to three.
The Movistar Arena has an array of shows and entertainment offerings lined up. Singing sensation Norah Jones is all set to perform in the venue.
Exclusive offers will be provided by Movistar to customers at the facility which will enjoy razor-sharp technology so that connectivity issues do not crop up. All these clauses are a part of the deal.
It is learnt that ASM Global will operate the arena. Details have not yet been revealed as regards the length of the sponsorship. ASM Global operates more than 300 sports, entertainment and convention venues worldwide.
