Real Madrid CF
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly known as Real Madrid, is a professional football club from Spain based in Madrid. The team competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the team has always sported a white home kit. The honorary title "real" means "royal" in Spanish, and it was bestowed upon the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920, along with the royal crown in the emblem. Since 1947, Real Madrid has played its home matches at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in downtown Madrid, which has a capacity of 81,044 spectators. Unlike most European sports clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and run the club throughout its history. The official anthem of the club is "Hala Madrid y nada más," written by RedOne and Manuel Jabois.
Real Madrid enjoys massive global support and is the most followed football club on social media, according to the CIES Football Observatory as of 2023. It was estimated to be worth $5.1 billion in 2022, making it the world's most valuable football club. In 2023, it ranked as the second highest-earning football club worldwide, with an annual revenue of €713.8 million.
As one of the three founding members of La Liga that have never been relegated from the top division since its inception in 1929 (alongside Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona), Real Madrid has longstanding rivalries, notably with Barcelona in El Clásico and with Atlético Madrid in El Derbi Madrileño. The club established itself as a dominant force in Spanish and European football during the 1950s and 60s, winning five consecutive and six overall European Cups and reaching two more finals. During this era, the team, featuring legendary players like Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ferenc Puskás, Francisco Gento, and Raymond Kopa, is often regarded as the greatest of all time.
Real Madrid is renowned for its Galácticos policy, which involves signing the world's best players to create a superstar team. This policy was notably implemented during Florentino Pérez's presidency of the club in two eras (2000-2006 and 2009-2018). Players such as Ronaldo, Zidane, and David Beckham were part of this strategy. However, more recently, the club has shifted its focus towards signing young talents like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, relaxing the Galácticos policy. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was signed for a record-breaking £80 million (€94 million) in 2009, became the all-time top goalscorer for both the club and football history.
