Riyadh Air Metropolitano

History

The Metropolitano Stadium (Spanish: Estadio Metropolitano), officially referred to as Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium due to sponsorship, is a football stadium in Madrid, located in the Rosas neighbourhood in the San Blas-Canillejas district. It has been the home stadium of Atlético Madrid since 2017. The original stadium was built as part of Madrid's unsuccessful bid to host the 1997 World Athletics Championships, and was opened on 6 September 1994 by the Community of Madrid. It was closed in 2004 due to the city's unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Olympics and in 2013 it passed into the possession of Atlético Madrid.
