STADE SANTIAGO-BERNABÉU

Real Madrid has one of the finest stadiums in the world, seating 82,000 spectators, if not THE finest in the world since the completion of the titanic works undertaken by the club between 2020 and early 2024. In any case, it's certainly the most modern. Completely redesigned and renovated, it now features a retractable roof, parking lots, a museum, a restaurant, an eSports center, a hotel and numerous event spaces. These pharaonic works are said to have cost around 800 million euros and have made "Santiago-Bernabéu the stadium of the ^21st century", according to its president Florentino Pérez. In a stadium (still under construction), after playing its matches at the training center for several months, Real Madrid won its ^35th Spanish championship title in the summer of 2022. A moment of glory for an entire club and its socios, and above all for a stadium known the world over. Founded in 1947 as the Chamartín stadium, it was remodelled and enlarged in 1994 to become the future ex-Santiago Bernabéu stadium. For the match schedule, visit the club's website, where you can buy your tickets. And you can even take a (reduced) tour of the stadium during the works (until the end of 2023, or even early 2024), before (certainly) returning to a more classic stadium tour in the spring of 2024, with a visit to the changing rooms, the tunnel leading to the pitch, the trophy room, the benches, the press conference room..
