Pabellón Jorge Garbajosa, formerly known as Pabellón Parque Corredor,[3] is an indoor arena located in Torrejón de Ardoz, Community of Madrid, Spain. It is mainly used by Inter Movistar for its futsal games.

History

[edit]

Opened in 1996, in June 2006, the arena changed its name in homage of basketball player Jorge Garbajosa, born in Torrejón de Ardoz.[3]

In July 2015, Inter FS decided to come back to Pabellón Jorge Garbajosa twelve years later since the futsal club left the arena for playing at Alcalá de Henares.[4]
