History

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]
