The Welcome Night featured the presence of Atlético Madrileño, led by Fernando Torres, who were welcomed at the Estadio Metropolitano. The coach and Atlético legend was the most applauded of a Madrileño team that will debut in the Primera Federación against Atlético Sanluqueño. Fernando Torres delivered a message to the fans on Welcome Night upon his return to the first team's home ground.

When he was about to speak, the entire Metropolitano chanted "whoever doesn't jump is a Madrisita..." and Torres, with a smile, remained silent to let the melody be heard. Right after, El Niño assured: "It's always a pleasure to come back home. It's always special to step on the grass of our home. For me, of course, having grown up here. I've always felt special towards the people." Torres spoke about what this Welcome Night meant to him, but especially for his team: "And for this group, who dream of playing in front of all of you, in this stadium, it's a special night".

Javi Serrano also had his moment, as he will be the captain of Madrileño and already knows what it's like to play with the first team. The youth player stated: "I am very happy, excited, and proud that my teammates and coaching staff have trusted me to be captain. I can only say that I will give my all on the field, and return all the trust they have given me to achieve the objectives."
