Name changes

It was opened in September 1994, with the name of Metropolitan. In late 2000, after a naming rights agreement, it was renamed as ATL Hall, and as Claro Hall after the consolidation of the América Móvil-owned networks in Brazil, and since March 2007, when the Claro agreement expired, becoming the Citibank Hall. In 2016, the concert hall briefly returned to its original name. In March 2017, naming rights were purchased by fuel company, Ipiranga, with the venue now known as KM de Vantagens Hall.[1] In 2021, the space was renamed again, this time with the name Qualistage, due to the partnership with the health plan administrator Qualicorp.[2]
