Riyadh Air Metropolitano
About
The Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, previously known as Estadio Metropolitano, is located in Madrid’s Rosas neighbourhood, part of the San Blas‑Canillejas district. Following a comprehensive rebuild that concluded in 2017, the modern venue now serves as the home of Atlético Madrid, hosting league, domestic cup, and European matches. With a seating capacity of 70 692 and an outdoor capacity of 60 000 for concerts, the stadium is one of Spain’s largest, featuring a sweeping LED‑lit roof, state‑of‑the‑art facilities, and easy access via the new Estadio Metropolitano metro station. The stadium’s history traces back to its original construction between 1990 and 1993, where it was inaugurated in 1994 as the venue for the 1997 World Athletics Championships bid. A major renovation transformed it into the modern arena it is today, completing in 2017 with a sharp focus on fan experience and architectural innovation. With its world‑class design and impressive capacity, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano has quickly become a key landmark in Madrid’s sporting landscape, attracting top‑tier football matches, international concerts, and major sporting events.
