Evento on Peña Atlética de Alemania

PEÑAS DAY 2026: CIDER, FABES AND RED-AND-WHITE PRIDE ❤️🤍

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Peña Atlética de Alemania was once again present at Peñas Day, just as we have been every year since becoming an official supporters’ club. Because kilometres are no excuse when it comes to Atleti, and because, even though we live scattered across Germany, there are occasions that are always worth coming back for.

This year, we were also celebrating the launch of an initiative that we think is a brilliant idea: dedicating each edition of Peñas Day to a different province or region, highlighting the culture and traditions of the people who keep the red-and-white passion alive throughout Spain. And when the chosen destination is Asturias, with its music, its food and its very own way of enjoying life, well, you can imagine how we could possibly have stayed away!

TRIP TO THE RED AND WHITE ALCARRIA

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

And another peñistic weekend arrived, this time in Sigüenza! I had the honor of being invited to the 30th anniversary of Peña Seguntina, and the celebration began in the best possible way: with a ham and wine tasting that was absolutely spectacular. Between slices and sips, you could already feel the Peña spirit and the excitement to fully enjoy the day.

Afterwards, we went to enjoy a delicious roast lamb, of course at a great restaurant, where no fewer than 4 of the 5 Peñas from Guadalajara gathered. The table had an extra touch of luxury: the legends Solozábal and Fresnedoso, whom I had the pleasure of sitting next to—along with Sandra, the president of Seguntina, and Txus Rojas! Between laughter, anecdotes, and good humor, the meal turned into a true Peña feast.

FROM PEÑA TO PEÑA... AND I TAKE MY SHOT!

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

What a peñistic weekend we had! It all started on November 15th in Burgos, celebrating the 15th anniversary of Peña Gamonal. Around 11 a.m., a bus picked us up (yes, like a school trip, but with more excitement and zero homework) and took us to the Peña. They gave us a full tour and treated us to an aperitif that was absolutely delicious. Between tapas and laughter, we could already feel the special Peña magic.

30th ANNIVERSARY OF PEÑA ATLÉTICA LA BAÑEZA 'UN SENTIMIENTO'

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Still with a smile on our faces (and a few anecdotes that will take a while to forget) after a wonderful day… A heartfelt thanks to Peña Atlética La Bañeza “Un sentimiento” for inviting us to celebrate their 30th anniversary on Saturday, October 11. It was a perfect day, one of those that makes you feel reconciled with everything.

Saturday began with the traditional football match, which ended in a penalty shootout—perhaps because Rafa, president of Peña Mallorca, acted as referee. The next day, many of the participants complained about sore muscles; it seems age and inactivity spare neither the body nor the memory… and certainly not how to play football!

IBERO-AMERICA AND ATLETI

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

What an exciting Friday evening! On October 10th, at 7:03 PM, the association Los 50 invited us to an unforgettable event at Casa América on the occasion of Día de la Hispanidad, which is celebrated on October 12th.

Atleti joined this celebration, and it was an honor to share anecdotes and stories with Ibero-American legends like Rubén Cano, Diego Godín, Cacho Heredia, and Luiz Pereira, and also to listen to an emotional message from Ayala.

PEÑAS DAY 2025: LAUGHTER, PAELLA, THE BOOK AND FOOTBALL!

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

On September 13, as every year, the long-awaited Atlético de Madrid Supporters’ Clubs Day took place, and of course, our peña was there. A group of our members showed up at the Metropolitano, full of excitement, ready to enjoy themselves, socialize, and above all, have fun. And fun we definitely had…

Right from the start, the atmosphere was amazing. Between hugs, greetings, and the occasional “¡qué pasa, máquina!”, there was that special energy that only appears when the true Atlético family comes together. Kids ran around, the adults caught up with old friends, and for a few hours, we all felt like we were in our little red-and-white paradise.

PRESENTATION OF 'MERECE LA PEÑA'

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

PRESENTATION OF ‘MERECE LA PEÑA’

On September 12, 2025, as part of the Atlético de Madrid Supporters’ Clubs Day, a very special event took place at the Cívitas Metropolitano Auditorium: the presentation of the book MERECE LA PEÑA. Así son las peñas del Atlético de Madrid.

The presentation was led by none other than the author herself, Carmen García, the President of our Atlético de Madrid Supporters’ Club in Germany, and a true expert on the world of Atlético peñas. She had been personally invited by the Club—an honor that not only recognized her work as a writer but also her years of dedication to the Atlético supporters’ movement. For the Germany Peña, it was a source of immense pride that their president was the author of the first major book to so fully and movingly portray the life of Atlético’s peñas.

MERECE LA PEÑA

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

PRESENTATION OF “MERECE LA PEÑA. THIS IS WHAT ATLÉTICO DE MADRID’S PEÑAS ARE LIKE”

On September 12th at 7:00 p.m., we have a very special date: the presentation of the book by our president Carmen, a true expert in the world of peñas and in what it really means to live Atlético from the inside.

The setting couldn’t be more symbolic: the auditorium of the Metropolitano Stadium, as part of the activities of the much-anticipated Día de las Peñas. A perfect stage for an event that is already generating great excitement among members, peñistas, and the media.

PEÑAS' MEETING

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

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.

TOTAL COMMITMENT OF THE PEÑA BUENAVENTANA

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Last year, when the members of the Peña Atlético Aviación invited me to their 15th anniversary in March, I hesitated for a moment because I had a feeling the celebration could get out of hand, but I thought it over and concluded it was worth it. After all, when have I ever resisted a good party?

On March 22, early in the morning, I set off for Benavente, a town in the Zamora province, a city that Víctor, a member of the peña, had already shown to Txus and me during our short visit in October 2024. After leaving my things in the room at the La Trucha guesthouse, which Javi (president of the peña) had reserved for me, Isaac came to pick me up and take me to the epicenter of the action: the peña headquarters. I arrived there in a van, accompanied by Patricia Cazón, only to discover that the venue had become too small, so they had set up tents on the street (with permission from the town hall, I suppose), where they had prepared some appetizers to kick things off.

ATLETI EN FEMENINO III

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Since its first edition in 2023, I have always attended Atleti en Femenino as a spectator. I was greatly surprised when, a few weeks ago, I received an invitation to participate in this year’s event as a guest at a discussion panel. Of course, I didn’t hesitate for a minute and immediately planned everything to ensure I wouldn’t miss the occasion.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 18, I went to the Metropolitano, whose auditorium hosted the third edition of the Atleti en Femenino event. Everything was scheduled to start at 7:03 PM, but we participants were asked to arrive at 6:00 PM to finalize the details. Some of the most prominent figures in the Atlético community related to women’s football gathered at this event, and I was delighted to see Amanda Sampedro behind the scenes with her parents, with whom I chatted for quite a while.

A PEÑA WITH TRADITION IN THE SOUTH

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Reaching 57 years as an official Peña is undoubtedly a reason for celebration, and that’s exactly what the Peña Atlética de Pozoblanco in the province of Córdoba did. More than half a century cheering on our Atleti deserves a grand celebration, and we were lucky enough to be invited.

Along with Encarni, president of the Peña Atlética de Pablo Barrios and a personal friend, we set off and stayed at her sister’s house, who lives near Pozoblanco. We arrived on Friday the 14th, and the celebration was planned for Saturday, March 15. Around 11 in the morning, we met up in Pozoblanco with Juan José, president of the Peña, and he had the brilliant idea of showing us how COVAP, a dairy industry, operates. The guided tour was excellent and left all attendees amazed by the experience and the hospitality we received.

DAY OF THE PEÑAS 2024

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Day of the Peñas is a day designed for all peñistas to come to the stadium and celebrate that we are one red-and-white family. Unfortunately, the sanction imposed a few days ago by Atlético de Madrid on the members of the animation section dampened the festive atmosphere compared to previous years. Many members who had nothing to do with the throwing of lighters during the last derby were unable to enter. Not only that, but they now face a ban from traveling to matches for five games, even though some had already booked flights and hotels.

AND OFF WE WENT TO LEÓN

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

There is no bad date or distant place when it comes to celebrating an anniversary among “rojiblancos.” We know this very well in our peña, so when we received the invitation from the Peña Atlética de La Bañeza Un Sentimiento to join them for their 29th anniversary celebration, we didn’t hesitate for a second.

It was clear that we had a weekend full of emotions and rojiblanco brothers and sisters eager to party ahead of us. That’s exactly what I told Txus, a die-hard colchonera and new to these adventures, as we set off Thelma and Louise-style on our way to La Bañeza.

THE THREE WISE MEN HAVE ARRIVED!

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The essence of a supporters’ club lies not only in attending games together or assisting its members but also in representing Atlético de Madrid and honoring its name. A few months ago, we learned coincidentally that there are some avid Atleti fans among the students in the 4th grade of the public school CEIP “Ntra. Sra. de las Nieves” in La Zarza (Badajoz).

We came up with the idea that we could bring them some joy, and when Christmas arrived, our supporters’ club decided to write to the Three Wise Men so that they could leave them a red-and-white gift on our behalf. Today, they sent us these photos that show their joy upon opening the package, proudly displaying the flags, scarves, and other details inside.

I EUROPEAN ATLÉTICO FAN CLUBS MEETING

Sat, 02 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, fan clubs come up with ideas that initially seem utopian, but when the International Union of Fan Clubs (Unión Internacional de Peñas) and Club Atlético de Madrid collaborate, everything becomes easier.

One of these ideas was to shape a project that had been in mind for a while but had never been carried out: a Meeting of European Atlético Fan Clubs. The number of fan clubs representing us beyond national borders is growing, and the goal of this meeting was to give them a voice and visibility, and, above all, to make them feel part of the red-and-white family.

III INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF PEÑAS IN BADAJOZ

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

We had known for some time about the celebration of the III International Congress of Atlético Madrid Peñas in Badajoz. Our president headed there to collaborate in the organization of the event and, above all, to represent our Peña. The event was organized by the International Union of Peñas under the sponsorship of Cívitas and took place on the 14th and 15th of October.

On Friday, we traveled there to begin organizing everything. Alonso, from the Badajoz-based Peña “Tos por igual,” generously offered his restaurant for a meal for those of us arriving and, in the evening, for an informal dinner that turned out to be a great success. The most festive among us ended the night in one of the city’s trendy venues, while others went straight to the hotel, as the next day promised to be a long one. On Saturday morning, we started distributing accreditations to those arriving at the Río and NH hotels. Welcome bags were prepared for the attendees, containing small tokens of welcome, and it was a pleasure to get to know the different members of the Peñas and reunite with those we already knew.

THE DAY OF THE PEÑAS 2023 - OUR DAY

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

When we were officially born as an Atletico de Madrid Fan Club on April 26, we had a triumphant entrance, through the grand door, and with a red carpet. We only lacked written confirmation, and it arrived on October 8 in a manner just as spectacular as half a year ago, no less than from Don Enrique Cerezo, the President of Club Atletico de Madrid.

We departed from Germany the day before, and on Sunday, the day of the Diploma ceremony, we headed to the Metropolitano Stadium, with a little issue involving our Uber driver.

CULTURE IN RED AND WHITE SPECIAL 120TH ANNIVERSARY

Thu, 11 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The Peña Atlética de Alemania had the honor of attending the event “Culture in Red and White” in a special edition for the 120th anniversary of the Club, which took place at the Metropolitano Stadium on May 28.

We enjoyed live music, traveling from Metropolitano to Metropolitano to the rhythm of rock (the hardest part was staying still in our seats and not getting up to dance). We were able to express ourselves by singing the chants from the stands and learned a lot about our origins closely tied to Racing de Madrid.

THE PEÑA ATLÉTICA DE ALEMANIA AND THE 120TH ANNIVERSARY OF ATLETI

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

April 26th was an important day for Club Atlético de Madrid as it celebrated its 120th anniversary. For the Peña Atlética de Alemania, it will also be a day to remember as we became an official fan club on that day. It was not a coincidence: we thought it was the perfect day to start our official status and Atlético de Madrid helped us make it happen. The day before, I was surprised by a phone call that at first I took as a joke: as the president of the fan club, they invited me to watch the match against Mallorca from the VIP box, and hinted at a surprise that they wanted to keep secret. I gladly accepted the invitation and tried not to get nervous.

ATLETI EN FEMENINO

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

We attended the 1st ‘ATLETI EN FEMENINO’ Event.

Last Thursday, we were invited by the Las Colchoneras and Los 50 fan clubs to the first Women’s Atleti event.

Carmen, the president of the Athletic Club of Germany, attended the Metropolitano and enjoyed a magnificent afternoon which we detail in the following link.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the kind invitation and congratulate the organizers on the success achieved.
