After financial problems in the 2010/11 season, the first men's team, including the license for the ASOBAL league, moved to the state capital, Madrid, in order to be able to acquire more sponsorship money and spectators. BM Atlético de Madrid received a place in the ASOBAL league in the 2011/12 season.
