About Santiago Bernabéu

The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is a football stadium in Madrid, Spain. With a current seating capacity of 81,044, it has been the home stadium of Real Madrid since its completion in 1947. It is the second-largest stadium in Spain and the third-largest home to a top-flight European club.

Named after football player and legendary Real Madrid president Santiago Bernabéu, the stadium is one of the world's most famous football venues. It has hosted the final of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League on four occasions. It also hosted the 1982 FIFA World Cup Final.

The stadium is currently nearing the completion of a massive renovation which includes a retractable roof, a retractable pitch, and a 360-degree video scoreboard. The metallic skin of the new facade allows images to be projected onto it. It is designed to be a digital and architectural icon for the 21st century while retaining its fearsome verticality.

At zoom 16, the Santiago Bernabéu sits right on the prestigious Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid's main north-south avenue, in the Chamartín district. The recently renovated stadium now features a fully retractable roof and a striking metallic exterior visible from satellite. The stadium is surrounded by dense urban development on all sides — office towers and luxury apartments press right up against the ground. The Four Towers Business Area (Cuatro Torres) skyscrapers are visible just to the north, providing a useful landmark for orientation.

🌍 Did You Know?

The €1.75 billion renovation (completed 2023) transformed the Bernabéu into a futuristic arena with a retractable pitch that slides underground on rails, a 360° wraparound video screen, and a retractable roof — making it one of the most technologically advanced stadiums on the planet.
The stadium has a retractable grass pitch stored 30 metres below ground level in a climate-controlled greenhouse bay — when the pitch is retracted, the stadium floor becomes a flat surface for concerts, NBA games, and tennis exhibitions.
Real Madrid's trophy room at the Bernabéu contains 15 Champions League/European Cup trophies — more than any other club — and the museum attracts over 1 million visitors annually, making it one of Madrid's top tourist attractions.
The Bernabéu sits on some of the most valuable real estate in Spain — the land alone is estimated to be worth over €2 billion, which is why Real Madrid chose to renovate rather than relocate, despite the massive construction costs and disruption.
