The legendary player's jersey No. 4 will find a permanent place atop the Buesa Arena following his retirement in 2021.

The 43-year-old Argentinian, once the captain of the then-named Tau Ceramica, boasts an impressive list of achievements in Vitoria. He clinched the ACB League title in 2002, along with three Copas del Rey triumphs in 2002, 2004, and 2006, and three Spanish Supercups in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Scola also played a key role in securing three EuroLeague Final Four tickets in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

Scola's journey with the Basques' jersey spanned 447 games, including 303 ACB League matches and 144 EuroLeague contests. This feat solidified his place as the fourth player in the club's history with the most appearances.
