#FORUM DE VALENCIA PROFESSIONAL#
It is the only private facility in the Venezuelan Professional Basketball League. Its doors opened on March of 1991 by entrepreneur Germán Blanco Romero and it has a ten thousand spectator capacity. Since last year, its name is Forum Plaza Arena. The stadium is at the Las Clavellinas sector of Valencia, at an affluent part of the city of Carabobo. Today, it is one of the best stadiums in Latin America, since it was built to recreate the NBA levels and the FIBA parameters to be able to host national and international tournaments. That is the story of the Forum as told by the people that saw its birth. It was built because Trotamundos - an influential basketball team of the city - needed to house more fans and the old facilities could not hold a great part of the people that went to see them. Venezuela won the championship and, from that moment on, the stadium began its legendary status. The Forum’s construction began in 1988 and was inaugurated in the year 1991, when the first Torneo Sudamericano took place. The rivals are the Dominican Republic, in a vital match for both teams that are part of Group F.
