Story

Santiago Bernabéu is the home of Real Madrid and is definitely one of the world’s most famous soccer venues.

The stadium was inaugurated in December 1947 with a match between Real Madrid and the Portuguese club Os Belenseses. When first expanded in 1954, it became the largest stadium in the world at that time, with a capacity of 120,000. There have been several renovations since then, and current capacity is 80,400.

Originally called Estadio Chamartín after Madrid’s previous stadium, the name was changed on January 4, 1955 in honor of the club’s president, Santiago Bernabéu, whose vision and leadership commanded this magnificent project.

The stadium is located in the heart of the business district and even has its own Madrid Metro station along the 10 line, called "Santiago Bernabéu”.

There are daily tours of the stadium which include the locker rooms, the Presidential Box, the player’s tunnel, benches and coach’s area, the playing field, an amazing Trophies Exhibition and a brand new official Adidas Store. It is said to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain, second only to the Prado Museum in Madrid.

About Real Madrid

About Real Madrid:

Madrid's first forays into football were began by the professors and students of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza in 1895 which split in 1900 to become New Foot-Ball de Madrid and Español de Madrid with Español de Madrid splitting again in 1902 to become Sociedad Madrid FC, a club which is now known throughout the world as Real Madrid.

One of the most vital cornerstones of the Real Madrid story come sin the shape of Santiago Bernabeu who became club president in 1945 after previously filling the roles of player, first-team captain, club maintenance, first-team manager and director. Under Bernabeu the club was rebuilt following the Spanish Civil War and, with a sweeping set of reforms, the club's organizational structure was completely reformed by the forward thinking visionary Bernabeu.

He was also one of the proponents of the European Cup in the mid 1950s, a competition Real Madrid have dominated since first competing by winning the tournament a record nine times. Before passing away in 1978, Bernabéu left a lasting impression on Real Madrid by overseeing 1 Intercontinental Cup, 6 European Cups, 16 La Liga titles and 6 Spanish Cups.

The glory years of the great 1950s Real Madrid side of Alfredo di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas and Francisco Gento set the standard for Real Madrid as a club and their five European Cup wins in a row between 1955 and 1960 which earned them the UEFA Badge of Honour still ranks as probably the greatest footballing achievement of any club side in UEFA history.

By the early 1980s Madrid had lost their grasp on the La Liga title until a new batch of homegrown stars, known as 'El Quinta del Buitre', took the club to five back to back league titles. Emilio Butragueño, Manolo Sanchís, Martín Vazquéz, Míchel and Miguel Pardeza alongside Mexican superstar Hugo Sanchez only failed in one arena and that was the European Cup, in fact Sanchis was the only one of this team to ever gain a European Cup winner's medal, as a Real Madrid veteran in both 1998 and 2000.

Deep in debt by 2000, the club controversially got their training ground re-zoned and used the money to begin to assemble the famous "Galactico" side including players such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raul and David Beckham. The huge gamble didn't pay off however and despite a European Cup win in 2002, the club had failed to win a major trophy since 2003 until they clinched the La Liga title in an amazing comeback in 2007.
