For the first time and against Getafe, the Atletico Madrid players wore on their shirts the logo of the first European Games.
The league match against Getafe saw Atletico Madrid players wearing on the front of their shirts for the first time the logo for the first European Games to be held in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, in 2015.
The action serves to close the day of presentation of the logo, which started early on Saturday at the 42nd General Assembly of the European Olympic Committees held in Rome. There, the sports minister of Azerbaijan, Azad Rahimov, unveiled the design that will identify the sporting event.
Altay Efendiev (Ambassador of Azerbaijan) attended the meeting, invited by the club during which he held a meeting with Rojiblanco president Enrique Cerezo showing the good relationship .
At the game, along with the ambassador, were the five young Azeris players, who enjoy a stay in Spain until December thanks to the training program offered by the club through its Academy.
They are all very excited for the adventure that they are on and are confident that the Games are "a great opportunity for Azerbaijani sportsmen."
The new logo combines five key elements that have shaped the culture and ancient and contemporary aspirations of the host country, including the flame, the water, the mythical bird Simurgh, the carpet and the granada .
