Angel Gomez will proudly see from somewhere that his great dream has been fulfilled. Ángel was the head of the Vicente Calderón museum and began to forge the foundations of what is now Territorio Atleti, the star project of the Madrid club for the 2020-21 season. Ángel left us a short time ago but his work is there. The Madrid entity has put great effort into this space where Atlético and football fans in general will be able to discover the values and history of the rojiblanco club.
Tomorrow, Saturday, this 1,400-square-meter space will open to the public where fans will enjoy everything related to their team. “Feel who we are and know our history in a fun and interactive way through immersive experiences, 360 images and virtual reality, “says the club. Atleti Territory is not a typical museum, as we understand it until now. There is a collection of shirts and Atlético's trophies are on display, but it is much more than that.. When you enter, you already feel that you are a participant in something different, since In the Rojiblanco Ritual you can paint your face with the colors of Atleti. And then one goes through the different areas of this space: From Madrid to the World, Because They Fight like Brothers … Especially emotional is the From Parents to Children, where a audiovisual with Torres as the protagonist shows that the passion that Atleti is is transmitted from generation to generation. The youngest can get a tattoo in Athletic Skin and everyone, children and adults, will understand what this club is, has been and will be thanks to Reasons for a Feeling, where legends of the entity explain what Atleti is.
There is a space for Vicente Calderón (Eterno Calderón) and everyone can enjoy The Grada of the best goals and saves in the history of the Madrid team from the stands of the once mythical rojiblanco stadium. Again the youngest will delight in Challenge Pro, where They will be able to measure their skills and compete against the current players of the Atlético first team. Surely from the location of the stadium everything seems easier.
There is an extensive exhibition of more than 400 items from legendary players: Gárate, Luis Aragonés, Manolo, Pantic … Emotions soar again in Beat to beat, another audiovisual where you get goose bumps listening to the old red-and-white idols. Employees of the entity will be able to see Territorio Atleti today. Starting tomorrow and to all Atlético fans. The official opening will be later, around the summer holidays. Angel, be calm. Territorio Atleti transmits what this club is, the way of feeling and thinking of the Atlético people, in a fans that always support, through thick and thin, win or lose their soul team.
