Atlético de Madrid and Riyadh Air have reached a nine-year agreement for the naming of the iconic stadium.

The stadium will be known as the “Riyadh Air Metropolitano” as a result of the nine-year agreement reached with the main sponsor for the naming of Atlético’s home. Saudi Arabia's premium digital native airline became the club's main sponsor on August 10, 2023, and will now serve as the naming partner for one of Europe’s most modern and iconic stadiums. During the first year of sponsorship, the Riyadh Air logo has featured on the front of the men's first team kits in all domestic and international matches.

The relationship between the two entities is further strengthened by this new strategic agreement until 2033, which makes the Saudi Arabian company the most important sponsor in the club's history.

Riyadh Air, whose commercial operations begin in summer 2025, and Atlético de Madrid, share a passion for excellence, sustainability, and a clear commitment to technological innovation with the firm objective of improving the experience of our fans and all the visitors who come to our stadium every year to enjoy the top-level events that take place here.

Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air, said:

It’s an honor to become the naming partner for the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and extend our partnership with Atlético de Madrid until 2033. Both organizations are driven to succeed at the highest level and having our name on such an iconic stadium will elevate the awareness of Riyadh Air across the sporting world and beyond.

Miguel Ángel Gil, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, said:

Just over a year after signing the sponsorship agreement with Riyadh Air, we are all proud and very happy to announce the extension of the partnership signed then with the agreement whereby our stadium will be named Riyadh Air Metropolitano. We thank Tony Douglas and his team for trusting Atlético de Madrid as a strategic partner for the launch and development of their ambitious global project.

The thousands of fans who attend the next home match on October 20 will see the new naming of our stadium on the main, northeast, and southeast facades with the corporate colors of the Saudi airline and the new name of the home of all the Atléticos: Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
