Plus500 Ltd., a leading online service provider for retail
customers to trade CFDs internationally, is pleased to announce
that it has extended its sponsorship agreement with Club Atlético
de Madrid Football Club, SAD, to be the main sponsor for the

very successful for both parties.
Plus500 will continue to enjoy a range of branding rights, such
as having the Plus500 logo feature on the official jersey and
training shirts of the first team and at the new Wanda
Metropolitano stadium as well as a host of other sponsorship

Atlético Madrid is a Spanish professional football club based in
Madrid that plays in La Liga Santander, commonly known as 'La
Liga', which is the top professional football division of the
Spanish football league. The club has won ten La Liga titles, and
the Copa del Rey on ten occasions along with other Spanish cup
competitions. It is also one of the most successful clubs in
Europe, including winning the UEFA Super Cup in 2010 and 2012, and
finalists in the 2013/14 and 2015/16 UEFA Champions League.
Atlético Madrid is based at the Vicente Calderón stadium in the
Spanish capital, which has capacity for almost 55,000 spectators;
during 2017 Atlético Madrid will be moving to the new, state of the
art Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid that will have a capacity
of around 68,000.
According to UEFA, La Liga has been the strongest league in
Europe over the past six years as well as the top league in Europe
for more years combined (16 years) than any other European league.
In addition, it is one of the most popular professional sports
leagues in the world, with the third-highest average match
attendance figures for 2013/14 of any professional association
football league and eighth-highest of any domestic professional
sports league worldwide.
Asaf Elimelech, Chief Executive Officer of Plus500, said: "We
are honoured to extend our partnership with such an illustrious
football club as Atlético Madrid for an additional season,
following the previous exciting season. Atlético Madrid,
consistently demonstrates its strength, professionalism and passion
for success, which we feel reflects Plus500's qualities. We are
looking forward to continuing this partnership which has proved to
be a harmonious combination between Atlético Madrid and Plus500,
and created a strong unified brand."
Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, Chief Executive Officer of Atlético
Madrid, added: "We are delighted to have extended the partnership
agreement with Plus500. We believe that this partnership has proved
itself to date and is supporting our growth and progress. We look
forward to continue our journey with them."
