At first glance, it looks like there is another Atletico Madrid in England, but that is not the case. They are Athletic Newham, a team from the ninth tier of English football, who will play again in the FA Cup and who have a special relationship with the La Liga side.
Atletico Madrid has a loyal following all over the world, including clubs that want to keep the philosophy that characterises the La Liga team.
As a result, a new club appeared in England in 2015 that has a special relationship with Atletico. It is Athletic Newham and they keep up to date with all the news of the Spanish team.
Athletic Newham is a club that plays in the ninth tier of the English football system, namely the Essex Senior League. This year, they will once again play in the FA Cup. They will face Amersham Town in a third qualifying round which they have reached after beating Chipstead and Lancing.
As for the reasons for the resemblance, the explanation is that the owner is a fan of Atletico Madrid, so his passion for the Metropolitano club led him to create this team and to reverse everything related to the club led by president Enrique Cerezo.
