The Santiago Bernabéu, with a capacity of 78,297 seats after its monumental renovation completed in 2023, stands as the ultimate achievement of world footballing excellence. This Madrid cathedral, fully transformed with a retractable roof and a revolutionary LED façade, asserts more than ever its claim to the status of football’s supreme temple. Its futuristic architecture respects heritage while projecting Real into the future.

The Bernabéu atmosphere blends Madrid aristocracy with popular passion in a unique balance. The socios, true guardians of the temple, create this solemn atmosphere that awes even the greatest players on the planet. For OM, the Bernabéu is the holy grail of European away days, that mythical arena where only the greatest teams can hope to shine.

The stadium’s revolutionary design now prioritizes the premium fan experience, while retaining its legendary proximity to the pitch. The retractable grass pitch — a world first — allows concerts and events to be staged without damaging the sacred turf. This technological innovation perfectly embodies Madrid audacity: to revolutionize without betraying the essence.

The architecture of the new Bernabéu fascinates with its technical feats: a 360° giant LED screen, integrated climate control, and sumptuous VIP spaces. These colossal investments reflect Real’s ambition to dominate not only on the sporting front but also economically. Every detail breathes excellence and boundless ambition.

Historically, the Bernabéu remains for us that magical place where the impossible becomes possible, the arena that has witnessed the birth of Europe’s greatest legends — and where our own star of 1993 continues to shine with eternal brilliance.
