2017 EuroCup Finals

The Fuente de San Luis was the first leg venue and, if necessary, the third leg venue as Valencia Basket venue. The arena was originally built in 1983. Valencia Basket started to play its games in the arena in 1987. The arena was also used as the home arena of the women's basketball team, Ros Casares Valencia, and the futsal team Valencia FS. In April 2010, La Fonteta hosted the 2009–10 EuroLeague Women Final Four, where Ros Casares Valencia was defeated in the final by Spartak Moscow Region. In 2016, Valencia Basket financed the renovation of the arena with €500,000, and also installed a new €150,000 center-hung scoreboard.

The Martín Carpena was the second leg venue as Unicaja venue. Martín Carpena arena opened in 1999. The arena originally had a seating capacity of 9,743 spectators, and an area of around 22,000 square meters. In 2007, a project was proposed to expand the capacity of the venue to 17,000 spectators, due to the high demand for seats and tickets by fans of Unicaja. Ultimately, the expansion project was approved, but to a new capacity of 13,000 spectators, rather than the originally planned 17,000. The expansion project was then scheduled to be completed in separate phases. The first expansion phase, which was completed in 2010, increased the seating capacity from 9,743 to 11,300.[2]
