Atlético Madrileño is a Spanish football team based in Madrid. Founded on 17 September 1963, it is the reserve team of Atlético Madrid and currently plays in Primera Federación – Group 2. They play their home games at Centro Deportivo Wanda Alcalá de Henares.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1963 as Reyfra Atlético O.J.E. when CD Reyfra (1963–64) and CA Getafe merged. In 1970 it absorbed Aviaco Madrileño CF, which was established in 1967 when Madrileño CF (1956–67) and AD Aviaco merged, became affiliated with Atlético Madrid and in 1970 changed its name to Atlético Madrileño Club de Fútbol.

In 1991, the club changed its name to Atlético Madrid B for the 1991–92 season. Having already played from 1980 to 1986 in Segunda División, the reserves fluctuated between that level and Segunda División B – created in 1977 as the new third division – in the following decades. In the 1998–99 season, the team (which featured Rubén Baraja, future Valencia and Spain star in central midfield) finished in second position in the second division, but was ineligible for La Liga promotion – Numancia gained the automatic promotion slot instead. The following year, they were administratively relegated as the first team that went down from La Liga, and in 2000–01 they missed out on promotion in the play-offs but would have been ineligible in any case as the seniors failed to achieve the same goal (they went back up a year later).

The entire 2000s were spent in the third level, but several players continued to make the transition to the first team, including David de Gea, Álvaro Domínguez, Antonio López, Gabi, Mario Suárez, Koke, Ignacio Camacho, Saúl Ñíguez, Thomas Partey and Lucas Hernandez.

In 2020–21, a poor on-field season combined with reorganisation of the league structure meant that the team was relegated not to the fourth tier but the fifth (Tercera División RFEF), having only spent two seasons below the third level since their first few years of existence over 50 years earlier.[1] They returned within two years, with the second promotion via the 2023 Segunda Federación play-offs.

On 1 July 2025, the club reverted to their historical name of Atlético Madrileño.[2]

Stadium

[edit]

Having spent much of their history playing at the club's main stadium, the Vicente Calderón, followed by two seasons at various local grounds in the Community of Madrid, Atlético Madrileño played at the Cerro del Espino Stadium, located in Majadahonda, from 1997[4] until 2025. The facility also served as a habitual training ground for the main squad, and as the home ground of local CF Rayo Majadahonda.[5]

In June 2025, Atlético Madrileño changed home grounds to the Centro Deportivo Wanda Alcalá de Henares, playing in the main pitch of the complex which has a capacity of 2,685 people.[6]
