Under-21s win on a historic day for Atlético's Ciudad Deportiva | OneFootball

This afternoon, the match between the Under-21 national teams of Spain and Kosovo, corresponding to matchday 7 of Group A in the qualifying stage for the 2027 European Championship, took place at the Atlético Sports City in Alcalá de Henares. La Rojita came out on top, winning 2-0 with goals from Gonzalo García and Pablo García. The latter, by the way, was crucial, as he created both goals for the national team.

The international clash is undoubtedly historic for Atlético de Madrid and its Sports City. Not only because there was representation from the Academy through Salvador Esquivel, although he did not play, and former Atlético player Adrián Niño, but also because of the venue itself. In fact, it is the first time in its short history that a national team match has been held at the club’s facilities in Alcalá. Usually, this type of match is played in larger-capacity stadiums, as has been the case with Castalia, Santo Domingo, Pedro Escartín, Ciudad de la Línea, La Victoria in Jaén, or the Santo Domingo Stadium in Alcorcón. This time was the exception.

A crowd of 2,318 spectators gathered in Alcalá de Henares, with a sold-out attendance, and they were able to enjoy another victory for the Under-21s, who now boast a perfect 7 out of 7 wins in the matches played.
