With David Villa and £100m more, Apollo ushers in a new era at Atleti | OneFootball

The Club Atlético de Madrid has officially announced a historic shift in its ownership structure this Thursday. During the Extraordinary General Meeting held at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Apollo Sports Capital was formalized as the majority shareholder of the red-and-white entity.

The meeting served to adapt the club's Statutes to this new financial reality. This change represents a profound reorganization in corporate governance, aiming to provide stability and international projection to the project following the agreement reached last November.

One of the big surprises was the configuration of the new Board of Directors. While Enrique Cerezo remains as president and Miguel Ángel Gil as CEO, the inclusion of former forward David Villa as a new director stands out, along with international figures linked to the new investment group.

Capital increase of 100 million euros

In addition to the changes in the offices, the Board has approved an ambitious capital increase of up to 100 million euros. These funds will be entirely allocated to strengthening the competitiveness of the section's teams and completing the construction of the future City of Sport.

This complex, located next to the stadium, aims to be a global benchmark not only in the football field but also in leisure and culture. With this financial injection, Atlético de Madrid seeks to consolidate itself in the European elite under its new management structure.
