The main field has dimensions of 40×20 m and will be used for the sports disciplines of futsal and handball. Other playing fields for basketball, volleyball and badminton will be included within it, according to the longitudinal direction of the court. The 11.20 m lateral band to the north allows the deployment and occupation of 5 telescopic grandstand modules with 250 optional public seats that are added to the 350 fixed grandstands until completing a capacity of up to 600 seats.

The building will also enjoy a large panoramic terrace located over the locker rooms and common areas of the building, suitable for multi-purpose activities, from which views of the central court will be enjoyed and which will be a privileged viewpoint with views facing FIBES. In addition to other equipment, the new sports center will have 6 changing rooms that facilitate the exchange of assignments based on the actual occupation or capacity of users at any given time, thus optimizing maintenance resources.
