Ogueta fronton

Ogueta is a modern sports facility in Vitoria-Gasteiz designed specifically for pelota competitions and training sessions. The indoor court has specially marked walls and floor that meet official standards for this ball game, with seating for hundreds of spectators.

The facility opened in 1979 and marked the beginning of a new era for professional pelota sports in the Basque region. This development helped establish the sport as a major part of regional sporting life in the decades that followed.

The fronton is where pelota matches connect locals to their Basque roots and keep this ancient sport at the heart of community life. Spectators here are part of a tradition that has shaped how people in the region spend their leisure time.

The fronton sits in a central location within the city and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The modern setup offers clear signage and comfortable spectator seating with good views of the court.

Athletes here play a version of pelota where the ball reaches extreme speeds during competition matches. These fast reflexes and the power the sport demands make each match an intense display of skill.
