The Real Madrid Foundation is the private organisation with the highest number of women practising sport under the same badge across the five continents. Almost 13,000 girls receive education in values and sport via the socio-sporting projects and schools through the Foundation’s For a REAL education: values and sport Por una educación REAL: Valores y deporte as part of the the care and holistic education projects.

Within the provision to train female coaches and educators in 76 countries, so far this season, a total of 1,859 coaches have been trained throughout the world and 38.4% 714 of them are female. This percentage is far higher than the number of women who hold degrees in physical activity and sports science with a specialism in football or basketball in Spain.

Constant growth
Some 12% of the coaches in the socio-sporting projects and schools in Spain are female, whilst the number of female participants continues to grown in the socio-sporting football and basketball schools in Spain and is approaching 400 children across the two disciplines. The percentage has risen by 4 percentage points in the last two seasons of the Foundation's work, with the figure standing at 10% in 2019.

Equality as part of methodology
Since its inception, the Foundation has promoted equality and non-discrimination across all of its socio-sporting projects worldwide. Equality is one of the seven values that features in the club’s educational methodology, along with respect, motivation for self-improvement, camaraderie, committed self-esteem, solidarity, healthy lifestyle habits and responsible autonomy.
