The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, inaugurated on December 14, 1947, is the home of Real Madrid Club de Fútbol and one of the most emblematic sports venues in the world. Located on Paseo de la Castellana, in the Chamartín district of Madrid, it has witnessed countless historic football moments.
Over the years, the Bernabéu has undergone various renovations to meet modern demands and enhance the fan experience. Among its most prominent features are its retractable roof, a 360-degree scoreboard, and an innovative system of retractable grass, allowing the hosting of multiple events beyond football.
The stadium has been the stage for memorable finals, such as the 1982 World Cup, the 1964 European Championship, and several UEFA Champions League finals, the most recent in 2010. Additionally, in 2018, it hosted the Copa Libertadores final, becoming the first stadium to host the finals of the most prestigious club competitions in Europe and South America.
A notable curiosity is that, in 2025, the Bernabéu will host an NFL game, where the Miami Dolphins will play as the home team, marking a milestone in diversifying events at the stadium.
These initiatives reflect Real Madrid's vision of transforming the Bernabéu into a multifunctional space of global reference.
