Sports complex to be renamed Florentino Pérez Real Madrid City
The Extraordinary General Assembly unanimously approved the proposal made by more than 1000 representative members, in accordance with article 28 of the Articles of Association.
The 2023 Extraordinary General Assembly unanimously approved the proposal made by more than 1,000 representative members, in accordance with article 28 of the Articles of Association, to rename the Real Madrid City sports complex as Florentino Pérez Real Madrid City. The president of Real Madrid expressed his gratitude for the naming: “Naturally, it is an honour, but I want to do this discreetly. I mean, I only ask that the name is put on the door when I say so. I'm not yet psychologically prepared to see my name on the door of Real Madrid City. On that condition, I'd be delighted.'
'You all know that I have never sought this type of recognition. In fact, we announced at the time that the Board was not going to propose this, but the statutes provide for the possibility that you have chosen to make this proposal.”
José Manuel de Carlos, Real Madrid's member no. 6 and son of president Luis de Carlos, spoke on behalf of the 1,000 representative members who have taken the proposal forward: “I address this assembly as spokesman for more than a thousand members representing and, I am convinced, the whole of Real Madrid, who believe that it is time to recognise the legacy of a president who is a legendary figure.”
“Nobody doubts that Florentino Pérez is one of the great presidents in our history. The president who has succeeded in picking up the baton from the great Real Madrid of the 20th century to propel it into this new era and consolidate the pillars of the institution that will undoubtedly be the greatest club of the 21st century.”
Best sports complex in the world
“As club president, Florentino Pérez has multiplied and revalued our assets in an extraordinary way, which is the real strength for Real Madrid to continue to be a strong institution in this new football industry. Real Madrid City is the greatest sports city in the world since it was inaugurated in 2005, with facilities that allow our teams and our employees to work in the best conditions to tackle the challenges we face as the best club of all time.”
'Real Madrid City is about to celebrate its first two decades and we believe that it is time for it to bear the name of one of the best presidents in our history and for it to be renamed Florentino Pérez Real Madrid City. It is something that the members have been demanding for years and that our president Florentino Pérez, and I must say it, dear Florentino, has tried to avoid it many times.'
Recognition
“It is the wish of the members to recognise your work and for you to bear witness to it. We are convinced that you are now the greatest president of the 21st century and that your work at the helm of our Real Madrid means that we continue to be the best club in history. I hope that you welcome this proposal as a sincere recognition of all madridistas and I also hope that this Assembly of Representative Members approves it and that the name of Florentino Pérez appears forever on the name of this house, the house of the madridistas.”
