Arganzuela proposes to call Parque Atlético de Madrid the space that the Calderón occupies

Vicente Calderón leaves, but in that same area where he stayed for more than 50 years there may be a nice memory in red and white key In the Arganzuela district, work is being done to ensure that the same space is called Atlético de Madrid Park.

The proposal will be presented to the plenary this Wednesday 17, at the request of the councilor Cayetana Hernández de la Riva. The idea has existed since March, but was postponed due to the pandemic crisis and is now back on the table. As reported by the City Council, it serves “as a tribute and recognition to the Atlético de Madrid club, whose headquarters were located in the stadium.”

El Calderón continues with the demolition process, who only has a few days left. Soon, the stadium will be just a memory. But Atleti will continue to be linked in some way to the new urban project.

The proposal to give the park the name of the team also includes that one of the streets will be called Casimiro Mahou, by the founder of the beer brand.
