Ciudad Real Madrid

Sprawling across 1,200,000 square metres, this large training complex belonging to Real Madrid Football Club opened on 30 September 2005. Located in Valdebebas Park, the colossal T-shaped building contains changing rooms, gyms, teaching rooms, conference rooms, offices, a hydrotherapy zone and medical centre, press rooms, etc.

This football ‘city’ includes the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, with a capacity for 6000 spectators (where Real Madrid Castilla plays its Youth League Junior A matches), and 11 grass and artificial turf football pitches with grandstands that can hold more than 11 000 people (where Real Madrid Club de Fútbol femenino, the women’s team, train and play their matches, along with the club’s lower category teams). It also has a cafeteria, La Cantera, from which fans can watch the training on the adjacent fields through its large windows.

Rounding out Ciudad Real Madrid’s facilities is a Pavilion, a structure used for training the basketball players in the first-tier team as well as the reserve team. It can also be used to host institutional and commercial events.
