Santiago Bernabéu Stadium

The Santiago Bernabéu Football Stadium is Real Madrid's home ground. It is a UEFA-classified Elite Stadium, awarded the top 5-star status in 2007.

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and Spain's premier football team, Real Madrid, are closely associated. Some truly memorable football has been played within the walls of Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, and no doubt many more hours of memorable football has yet to be played there too.

Work commenced on a bare patch of ground on October 27th, 1944. The inauguration of the stadium, then called Estadio Chamartén, took place on 14 December 1947. Eight years later on January 4th, 1955, Real Madrid changed the name of the stadium to its current name in honor of Santiago Bernabéu, the club's president at the time.

It has a current capacity of 80,354 spectators.

To round it off, you will visit the new Museum, the chief exponent of Real Madrid legend, the Best Club in the 20th Century.
