Buenos Aires Arena renamed to Movistar Arena

Telecommunications giant Movistar has signed a naming-rights deal with ASM Global-operated Buenos Aires Arena (15,000-cap.).

The arena is the third South American venue to take Movistar’s name, following similar partnerships with arenas in Santiago, Chile and Bogotá, Colombia.

Argentine singer Tini Stoessel marked the opening of the new arena on 1 November, which was free-to-enter for all Movistar customers that registered for tickets via Club Movistar.

Other acts to have performed at the arena include Spanish musicians Serrat and Sabina and Puerto Rican singer Chayanne, with upcoming shows by Abel Pintos, Keane, Ricardo Montaner, Andrés Calamaro, Shawn Mendes and J Balvin.

“This alliance is a milestone for our company”

Originally slated to be operated by AEG Facilities, the arena later came under ASM Global’s management, which was formed as the result of a merger between AEG Facilities and SMG. The venue is owned by Buenos Aires Arena SA, an entity controlled by La Nación, Argentina’s biggest media company.

“We are proud to be able to partner with this new concept of shows in Argentina,” comments Federico Rava, executive president of Movistar owner Telefónica Argentina. According to Rava, the new partnership “combines the best live entertainment with a unique experience for those present, exclusive benefits for Movistar clients and access to the latest technology and connectivity during the shows.”

“This alliance is a milestone for our company. We are very excited to welcome Movistar as our main sponsor, which will enhance the experience of spectators attending shows at Movistar Arena,” adds the arena’s president Natalia Mouhapé.
