The Under-21s win on a historic day for Atlético’s training ground | OneFootball

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

The international clash is undoubtedly a historic one for Atlético de Madrid and its Sports Complex. Not only because there was representation from the Academy through Salvador Esquivel, although he did not play, and former Atleti player Adrián Niño, but also because of the venue itself. This was 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 stadiums with larger capacities, 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 total of 2,318 spectators gathered in Alcalá de Henares, with a sell-out crowd, 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.
