Atlético visit the City of Sport construction site near the Metropolitano | OneFootball

The week continues at Atlético de Madrid, with their minds set on the clash against Sevilla this Saturday. It’s a week without midweek matches, in which Simeone is working to find a solution to the absence of Barrios. However, there has been a novelty this week for Atlético: the first team’s visit to the Ciudad del Deporte. The first team, led by Gil Marín, saw the progress of the construction works,with special attention to the High Performance Center (CAR), which will become the regular training ground, leaving behind the Cerro del Espino.

The visit was also attended by the club president, Enrique Cerezo, the councilor for Tourism and the San Blas-Canillejas district, Almudena Maíllo, the General Director of Football, Carlos Bucero, the General Director of Revenue and Operations, Óscar Mayo, and the Director of Men’s Professional Football, Mateu Alemany. During the tour of the construction works, there was a special stop at the plot where theHigh Performance Center is being built, covering an area of 65,000 square meters, with five pitches and a mini stadium with a capacity for 6,000 spectators.

Before starting the tour of the construction works, Miguel Ángel Gil explained the Ciudad del Deporte project to the first team of Atlético. The club’s CEO gave a detailed account of what the future facilities around the Metropolitano will be like, with a focus on the High Performance Center. This center will be where, in just over a year, the first team players will train daily. In addition, during the presentation, they were able to learn about the rest of the buildings that will be constructed on the neighboring plots and that will be part of the project surrounding the rojiblanco stronghold.
