The Welcome Night featured the presence of the Atlético Madrileño, led by Fernando Torres, who were received at the Metropolitano Stadium. The coach and club legend was the most applauded of a Madrileño team that will debut in the First Federation against Atlético Sanluqueño. Fernando Torres sent a message to the fans on his return to the home ground during the Welcome Night.

As he was about to speak, the entire Metropolitano was chanting "who doesn't jump is a Madrisita..." and Torres, with a smile, kept 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, who grew up here. I've always felt special to the people". Torres talked about what this Welcome Night meant to him, but especially for his team: "And for this group, who dreams of playing in front of all of you, in this stadium, it's a special night".

There was also a moment for Javi Serrano, who will be the captain of the Madrileño and who already knows what it's like to play with the first team. The academy player stated: "I'm very happy, excited and proud that my teammates and coaching staff have trusted me to be captain. I can only say that I'm going to give it my all on the field, and repay all the trust they've given me to meet the objectives".
