⚽ What was Pablo Escobar’s favorite football (soccer) team?
It was Atlético Nacional, the pride of Medellín.
In the 1980s, Escobar used his drug fortune to quietly support the club — funding player salaries, stadium improvements, and even travel expenses during Colombia’s football renaissance.
For him, Nacional represented Medellín’s power and pride, a way to show the world that his city could dominate on the field as much as it did in business.
Nacional became a symbol of Medellín itself — green and white colors tied to the city’s identity, community, and hope during violent times.
Even after Escobar’s death, the club’s legacy grew beyond him.
Today, Atlético Nacional stands as a reflection of Medellín’s resilience, loved for its history, style, and connection to the people — not its past with Escobar.
