Tribute to Urda victims before Atlético's silver badge ceremony

Atlético Madrid held a minute's silence at the Metropolitano before a club ceremony to honour victims of a train collision near Toledo that killed at least 68 people.

Atlético Madrid observed a minute's silence at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium before the third ceremony of silver badge presentations to members with 25 years' tenure, in memory of those who died in a train accident near Urda in Toledo province on Wednesday, 28 October.

Two high-speed trains—one operated by Renfe and another by Iryo—collided early that morning, resulting in at least 68 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The accident disrupted rail services between Madrid, Ciudad Real and Andalusia.

The club, which had already issued a statement on social media expressing condolences and support for the families of the deceased and injured, wanted to make this gesture of solidarity before the badge ceremony. The event was attended by club president Enrique Cerezo and club legends Roberto Solozábal, Roberto Fresnedoso, Diego Alonso and Luiz Pereira.
