The Bernabéu prepares to welcome Pope Leo XIV
The Bernabéu is finalizing preparations to welcome Pope Leo XIV. Our stadium will host the meeting with the diocesan community of Madrid on Monday, one of the main events His Holiness will undertake during his visit to Spain, where he will remain until June 12.
Outside the stadium, a large banner with the message "Welcome, Holy Father" will greet Leo XIV. Inside the Bernabéu, a stage is being set up from which the Pope will address attendees, who will also be able to follow the event via the giant screens installed in the stadium.
This will be the second time the Bernabéu hosts a papal event. On November 3, 1982, John Paul II visited our stadium for the Celebration of the Word with thousands of young people from around the world.
