About Atletico de Madrid Atletico Madrid (also known as Club Atletico de Madrid, Atletico de Madrid, El Atleti, Los Colchoneros, Los Rojiblancos or Los Indios) is a professional Spanish football club based in Madrid and plays in the highest division of Spanish football; the La Liga. Atletico Madrid holds its home matches at the Vicente Calderon stadium which has room for 55,000 spectators. Atletico Madrid was founded in 1939 and since than became one of the most successful clubs in Spain having won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey on nine occasions, including a double in 1996. They also won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1962, were European Cup runners-up in 1974, Intercontinental Cup winners in 1975, and UEFA Europa League winners in 2010. In 1987, after spending a decade without winning the La Liga; Jesus Gil became Atletico Madrid's. Jesus brought some expensive signings and replaced the team coaches several times. Yet, Atletico Madrid failed to win the La Liga. It was only in the 1995/96 season when Atletico Madrid has finally won the La Liga/Copa del Rey double. Despite heavy spending on top signings the team success was little. During the 1999/2000 season, Jesus and his board were suspended because of an investigation of misusing the club funds and as a result, the club was in complete disarray that led to relegation after finishing in the 17th place. Atletico Madrid played in the Second Division for two years before being promoted back in 2002. It was only in the 2007/08 season that Atletico Madrid had a successful season again. The team reached the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup as well as the Quarter-final round of the Copa del Rey and finished the season in the 4th place which qualified the team for the Champions League play. The 2008/09 season was also great for Atletico Madrid in both domestic and European Football; Atletico Madrid also participated again in the UEFA Champions League. The 2009/10 season began with poor performance of Atletico Madrid but after replacing the team's coach, its performance improved. Atletico Madrid made it to the final of the Copa del Rey but lost in the match against Sevilla. In the European football, Atletico Madrid won the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League.
