Details:

Basque students living in Madrid formed this club on April 26, 1903 as an affiliate of Athletic Bilbao. The club became independent of Athletic in 1921. Mattresses in Spain were traditionally wrapped in cloth with red and white stripes, similar to the club uniform, which explains Atlético Madrid's colchoneros nickname. Merged with Atlético Aviacion of Zaragoza in 1939, when Aviacion were denied membership in the first division and Atlético had lost many players during the Spanish Civil War. The club were forced to change their name from Athletic to Atlético in 1941 by a Francoist decree which banned non-Spanish names. Widely regarded as the third-biggest club in Spain. Atlético Madrid's stadium is named for a former president of the club and was previously known as Manzanares, a river near which the stadium is located.
