PEÑAS' MEETING

This past June 9th, all the presidents of the Atlético peñas received a surprise email from the Club: we were summoned to a meeting on June 18th at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium.

To ensure that as many peñas as possible could attend, we were asked to send a maximum of two representatives per peña.

The proposed agenda was to review the club’s current social affairs together, analyze the 2024/25 season, and present several new developments for the 2025/26 season, particularly regarding the peñas.

Representatives from over 200 peñas attended, and after registering, we were welcomed by Patricia González and Juan Carlos Gaitán. Once in the auditorium, Fernando Fariza, Luis Villamea, and Óscar Mayo took the floor.

Among other news, we were told about the progress of the Sports City, a new peñas department that will be separate from general member services, and the rift with the Union of Peñas, which led to a brief verbal spat.

The event lasted nearly two hours, and afterwards, we were invited to a cocktail reception at El Gran Escenario, an establishment affiliated with the club. There, we had the opportunity to celebrate reunions, meet new peñistas, and discuss the announcements from the presentation.

We appreciate and welcome the club organizing such events, as they help bring both sides closer and foster dialogue and cooperation. We hope it won’t be the last time.
