TheSuper Bock Arena (Pavilhão Rosa Mota) is a cultural and sportsarena inPorto, Portugal.
The pavilion opened in 1954 on the site of Porto's Crystal Palace (Palácio de Cristal), demolished in 1951 to make room for the pavilion. It was previously known asPavilhão dos Desportos. In 1991, it was renamed after Portuguese, European, World and Olympicmarathon running championRosa Mota.
In 2014, after a publiccall for tenders, a consortium between Lucios and PEV Entertainment was responsible for the rehabilitation of the arena.[1] The initial cost of the rehabilitation was 8 million euros.[1]

The rehabilitation process was concluded in 2019. The arena now has the capacity to undertake events up to 8,000 people and is brandedSuper Bock Arena.[3]
