These include the partially-built aquatics centre, which has stood derelict since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the council announced that the existing, Olympic bid-related plans for the site will be amended in order to &#8220;define a framework for the development of a city of sport, which will serve the surrounding areas and all of Madrid&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the development will cover around 1.2million sq m and will &#8220;take advantage of the architectural attractiveness&#8221; of the Wanda Metropolitano &ndash; home of Atl&eacute;tico de Madrid football club.<\/p>\n<p>The 68,000-capacity stadium was designed by Spanish architecture practice Cruz y Ortiz and features a fan plaza, where spectators can enjoy music, entertainment and other live events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmanagement.co.uk\/Sports-news\/latest\/Sports-city-plans-revealed-for-Madrids-Wanda-Metropolitano-stadium\/345612\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sportsmanagement.co.uk\/Sports-news\/latest\/Sports-city-plans-revealed-for-Madrids-Wanda-Metropolitano-stadium\/345612<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Tom Walker <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Tom Walker <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4223-1-14.jpg\" alt=\"\">The &ldquo;sports city&rdquo; project will be located next to the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid&rsquo;s San Blas-Canillejas district &nbsp; Madrid city council (Ayuntamiento de Madrid) has set out plans to develop a number of sports facilities in the surrounding areas of the existing Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
