The first stone for Real Madrid City was laid 21 years ago today
On 12 May 2004, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Carvajal were the protagonists of this historic moment.

On 12 May 2004, under Florentino Pérez’s presidency, the ceremonial laying of the first stone for the world’s finest sports complex took place. Alfredo Di Stéfano and Dani Carvajal were protagonists of the project’s launch, which is currently a source of pride for all Madridistas. Inaugurated on 30 September 2005, Real Madrid City has not stopped growing to continue among the international sporting elite.
Here you can experience the first team's day-to-day life, whether in the training facilities or the pre-match preparations at their residence. In addition, Real Madrid City is also where the women's first team and all the club's youth teams train and play.
