Atlético Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid, who currently play in La Liga. The club was founded in 1903.

They are one of the most successful clubs in Spanish football, having won eleven Championship titles, ten Copa del Rey titles, two Supercopas de España, one Copa Presidente FEF ^[es] and one Copa Eva Duarte. They have won eight European titles: the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1962, the UEFA Europa League in 2010, 2012 and 2018, and the UEFA Super Cup in 2010, 2012 and 2018.
