The idea to rename Leganes in Leganes Madrid belongs to the management of the club. According to the bosses, this will help the marketing policy and attract the attention of sponsors.

However, categorically against the renaming were fans of the team based in the suburbs of the capital of Spain.

According to fans of Leganes, changing the name will have a bad effect on the identity of the club, which has a long history. The official club of fans has already opposed such a decision of the leadership.

Leganes was founded in 1928. In the completed drawing of La Liga the team managed to keep a residence permit in the elite division, taking the 17th place.
