Riyadh Air will become the main sponsor of the Spanish club. It hasn't been announced how much money Atlético get from Riyadh Air every year. They are rumored to pay a bit more than Amber Group (WhaleFin) did - around 45 million Euro/season. WhaleFin could remain the club's training sponsor.

For the Atlético home kit, the sponsor logo is dark blue with a white border; for the away the colors are the opposite.

The Atlético x Riyadh Air partnership promises to "create better experiences for fans around the world", according to Atlético de Madrid CEO Miguel Ángel Gil. He also said, "I am confident that this alliance with Riyadh Air will take our club to new heights."

Riyadh Air's Chief Executive Tony Douglas added, "With this agreement, we are once again surprising the world as we move towards our inaugural flight in 2025."
