Metropolitano Stadium

The stadium was formerly known as Estadio de la Comunidad de Madrid (Community of Madrid Stadium), Estadio Olímpico de Madrid (Madrid Olympic Stadium), and more commonly by its nickname Estadio de La Peineta (The Comb Stadium). In 2016, naming rights were acquired by the Wanda Group, a Chinese real estate company.{{cite web|url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-spain-atm-stadium/chinese-firm-wanda-to-sponsor-atletico-madrids-new-stadium-idUKKBN13Y1KF|title=Chinese firm Wanda to sponsor Atletico Madrid's new stadium|publisher=Reuters|access-date=2 October 2017|archive-date=9 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180609125801/https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-spain-atm-stadium/chinese-firm-wanda-to-sponsor-atletico-madrids-new-stadium-idUKKBN13Y1KF|url-status=dead}} Following the expiration of the deal with the Wanda Group at the end of 2021–22 season, Cívitas Pacensis, a real estate firm, became the naming rights partner.{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Rory |date=20 July 2022 |title=Atletico Madrid confirm '€10m per year' Civitas Metropolitano naming rights deal |url=https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/atletico-madrid-civitas-metropolitano-wanda-naming-rightsworth/ |access-date=11 April 2024 |website=SportsPro}} On 9 October 2024, Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's second flag carrier and Atlético's sponsor, became the naming rights partner.

During the early 1990s the Sports Council of the Community of Madrid promoted the city's bid to host the World Athletics Championships in 1997. The preparations began for a stadium in eastern Madrid, next to the M-40 motorway and close to the Madrid–Barajas Airport.

Construction of the new stadium began in 1990 and was based on a design proposed by Cruz y Ortiz. It was completed in November 1993 at a cost of €45 million,{{Cite news|last=Casqueiro|first=Javier|date=1993-11-18|title=El olímpico de Canillejas|language=es|work=El País|url=https://elpais.com/diario/1993/11/19/madrid/753711896_850215.html|access-date=2021-09-07|issn=1134-6582|archive-date=7 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907221645/https://elpais.com/diario/1993/11/19/madrid/753711896_850215.html|url-status=live}} and the inauguration took place in September 1994 in front of then IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch, then Community of Madrid president Joaquín Leguina, and then mayor of Madrid José María Álvarez del Manzano.{{Cite web|date=7 September 1994|title='El Estadio de Madrid' página 78|url=https://www.abc.es/archivo/periodicos/abc-madrid-19940907-78.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-02|website=ABC Madrid|archive-date=27 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220727221546/https://www.abc.es/archivo/periodicos/abc-madrid-19940907-78.html}} The single seating tier stadium with a capacity of 20,000 seats became known as La Peineta (the comb) because of its similarity with a traditional hair comb.

The 1997 World Championships in Athletics were eventually awarded to Athens in 1995, and La Peineta was used for minor sports and cultural events during the first decade of its existence.{{Cite news|last=Álvarez|first=Paz|date=1995-05-21|title='La Peineta' se queda 'coja' sin los Mundiales de 1997|language=es|work=El País|url=https://elpais.com/diario/1995/05/22/madrid/801141867_850215.html|access-date=2021-09-07|issn=1134-6582|archive-date=7 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907221645/https://elpais.com/diario/1995/05/22/madrid/801141867_850215.html|url-status=live}}

In 2004, the stadium was closed for a future project upon the Madrid bid for the 2012 Olympics. The following year, the bid failed. In December 2008, Atlético's president Enrique Cerezo and mayor of Madrid Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón signed an agreement indicating that Atlético Madrid would eventually move to the stadium in the following years and for the renovations to begin.{{Cite web|date=2008-12-12|title=La Peineta será el nuevo estadio del Atlético para la temporada 2012-13|url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/deportes/20081212/53598075412/la-peineta-sera-el-nuevo-estadio-del-atletico-para-la-temporada-2012-13.html|access-date=2021-09-02|website=La Vanguardia|language=es|archive-date=3 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210903041859/https://www.lavanguardia.com/deportes/20081212/53598075412/la-peineta-sera-el-nuevo-estadio-del-atletico-para-la-temporada-2012-13.html|url-status=live}} The club was initially supposed to move to the new stadium in 2013, but this was pushed back numerous times due to Olympic bids and the economic crisis.{{Cite news|last1=Gallo|first1=Bruno García|last2=Marcos|first2=José|date=2014-11-05|title=FCC paraliza las obras de La Peineta y retrasa a 2017 la mudanza del Atlético|language=es|work=El País|url=https://elpais.com/ccaa/2014/11/05/madrid/1415221786_435912.html|access-date=2021-09-05|issn=1134-6582|archive-date=7 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907221647/https://elpais.com/ccaa/2014/11/05/madrid/1415221786_435912.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|last=Marcos|first=José|date=2013-09-07|title=La Peineta, en el limbo|language=es|work=El País|url=https://elpais.com/ccaa/2013/09/08/madrid/1378593183_168106.html|access-date=2021-09-14|issn=1134-6582|archive-date=15 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210915054123/https://elpais.com/ccaa/2013/09/08/madrid/1378593183_168106.html|url-status=live}}

Following another defeat of Madrid's Olympic bid in 2009, this time for the 2016 Olympics, many proposals were made for the future use of the stadium. In November 2011, the first demolition works were carried out at the stadium.{{Cite web|date=2 November 2011|title=Comienzan las obras de derribo en La Peineta|url=https://www.marca.com/2011/11/02/futbol/equipos/atletico/1320246983.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-02|website=Marca.com|archive-date=3 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210903041858/https://www.marca.com/2011/11/02/futbol/equipos/atletico/1320246983.html}} In Spring 2012, more works were carried out, this time with the removal of the lower seating tier and the removal of the athletics track.

Madrid made a bid again for the 2020 Olympics, which failed as well in September 2013. A few days after the 125th IOC Session, on 11 September 2013, Atlético Madrid announced their plans to build a stadium on the location of La Peineta, and ownership was officially transferred to the club.{{cite web|url=http://www.elmundo.es/madrid/2016/11/23/58357ee546163f30158b45f0.html|title=El Ayuntamiento de Madrid bendice la compra de La Peineta por parte del Atlético|language=es|website=El Mundo.es|date=23 November 2016|access-date=12 December 2016|archive-date=10 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161210010657/http://www.elmundo.es/madrid/2016/11/23/58357ee546163f30158b45f0.html|url-status=live}}

The first phase of the work was planned to be completed before the stadium opened, and included the new entrance from the M-40 towards Avenida Luis Aragonés, the braiding link between the Eisenhower interchange (M-14 and M-21) and the stadium service road, the improvement of the entrance by Arcentales Avenue, the construction of a second vestibule, and finally access to the Estadio Metropolitano Metro station.{{Cite news|last=|first=|date=2017-02-23|title=Consulte en exclusiva los planos de la mejora de los accesos al Wanda Metropolitano|language=es|work=AS.com|url=http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2017/02/22/album/1487799472_343236.html#1487799472_343236_1487814387|url-status=live|access-date=2017-06-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170528234436/http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2017/02/22/album/1487799472_343236.html#1487799472_343236_1487814387|archive-date=28 May 2017}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.estoesatleti.es/2017/03/asi-seran-la-urbanizacion-y-nuevos-accesos-wanda-metropolitano/|title=Así serán la urbanización y los nuevos accesos al Wanda Metropolitano|last=Morato|first=Iván|work=Esto es Atleti|access-date=2017-06-19|language=es-es|archive-date=19 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619214929/http://www.estoesatleti.es/2017/03/asi-seran-la-urbanizacion-y-nuevos-accesos-wanda-metropolitano/|url-status=live}} These infrastructures will be paid by the club for a fee close to 30 million euros.

The second phase was planned to take place after the inauguration. According to the announcement by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, it consists of the opening of the O'Donnell Cercanías Madrid station, which will convert the existing stop into a new station for the Rejas neighborhood. The station will be located at the intersection of the M-21 dual carriageway and M-40 highway, close to Ciudad Pegaso and the Plenilunio Shopping Center and near the Wanda Metropolitano.

The City Council is in talks with the Ministry of Public Works and Transport and the Community of Madrid about further improving access to the new stadium and adapting to the substantial increase of traffic to the neighborhood once it is operational. The measures proposed by the municipality of Madrid include a request to extend line 2 of Metro to the future O'Donnell Cercanías Madrid station, as well as the connection of said line to line 7's Estadio Metropolitano Metro station, which has the largest platform in the network.{{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/abci-wanda-metropolitano-y-gigantesca-estacion-metro-201704300031_noticia.html|title=El Wanda Metropolitano y su gigantesca estación de Metro|date=2017-04-30|work=abc|access-date=2017-06-20|language=es-ES|archive-date=14 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170614215535/http://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/abci-wanda-metropolitano-y-gigantesca-estacion-metro-201704300031_noticia.html|url-status=live}}
