The Wanda Metropolitano will be named as such no longer. Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement with Civitas and the company will now become the club's main sponsor. This means Atleti's home will now be named the Civitas Metropolitano.

Civitas Metropolitano. That will be the new name of Atletico Madrid's stadium from the start of the upcoming season. This was recently announced by Enrique Cerezo during the Civitas launch event.

The company, dedicated to making "sustainable and smart urban mobility a reality for all in Europe and beyond", will be the new sustainability sponsor of the club from the Spanish capital.

Therefore, the name of their stadium as it has been since 'Los Rojiblancos' made their move to it from the Vicente Calderon in 2017, the 'Wanda Metropolitano', will be no more.

Madrid's mayor, Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, was in attendance for the launch lead by Cerezo. The mayor himself gave the green light to the construction of Atletico's new training centre which is due to be constructed in the vicinity of the Civitas Metropolitano.

This puts an end to the agreement with the Chinese multinational, Wanda. The new sponsor will fund the club with 50 million euros over the next five seasons as reported by 'AS'.
