The Navarra Arena was finally inaugurated on 29 September 2018 with a final of a Basque pelota championship, the 2018 Cuatro y Medio Euskadi Championship.[4] The first match played at the main court was a basketball friendly match between Spain and Lithuania, hosted on 2 August 2019. The arena registered a sold-out.[5]
