    A few things: most game information is not truly available until after PLAYER_LOGIN, that's why you normally see this pattern. There's no reason to pre-fetch the information (which is wrong) and then print it later. Fetch it when it is needed and you know you can get it.

    Let's start with something simple:

     EventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
 local function onEvent(self, event, ...)
   if event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" then
     local teamName = GetArenaTeam(1)
     print("Team name is: " .. tostring(teamName))
   end
 end)
 EventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", onEvent)
 EventFrame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
 -- Depending on when you run this code, especially if this is a load on demand addon
 -- the PLAYER_LOGIN event may have already fired. You can run it manually in that
 -- case.
 if IsLoggedIn() then
   onEvent(EventFrame, "PLAYER_LOGIN")
 end

    Hi again,

    I tried to get my arena infos very very late, when I go in combat, to be sure that I could get arenas informations but thats still dont work :(

     local EventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
 local teamName, Size
 EventFrame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTER_COMBAT")
 EventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)
        teamName, Size = GetArenaTeam(2)
        ChatFrame1:AddMessage("Arena book is ready, ".. Size..".")
 end)

    That isn't the 'go into combat event'. That is PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED, but even that is not 100%. Why not one of the arena events, such as ARENA_TEAM_ROSTER_UPDATE?

    Hi, i tried what you said, but it still doest work I wonder if this function is not broken.

    That seems unlikely, given that the UI uses it.

    I found a solution, i just used ARENATEAMUPDATE Thank you a lot.
