Background on the Club
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (Royal Madrid Football Club), commonly known as Real Madrid, is a
professional football club based in Madrid, Spain. It was founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club
and has traditionally worn a white home kit since. The word Real is Spanish for royal and was
bestowed to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem. The
club established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s.
Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated
the club since its inception. The club is the richest football club in terms of annual revenue,
generating €479.5million in 2011[4] and the second most valuable, worth €1.8billion. Real Madrid
holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably El Clásico with FC Barcelona. The team has
played its home matches in the 85,454-capacity Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid since 1947.
It is one of three clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight of Spanish football, along
with Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Domestically, Real Madrid has won a record 32 La Liga titles,
18 Copas del Rey, 9 Supercopas de España, 1 Copa Eva Duarte and 1 Copa de la Liga.
Internationally it has won a record nine European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles and a joint
record three Intercontinental Cups, as well as two UEFA Cups, and one UEFA Super Cup.

the city where the complex is located.
Inaugurated in 2005, the training centre consists of academy offices, equipment rooms, audio-
visuals rooms, a strength and rehab centre, medical and training facilities. Training facilities
include 13 fields, a mixture of both natural grass and synthetic turf. Ciudad Real Madrid also
