Official Announcement

Real Madrid C. F., in view of the dissemination of categorically false information by the ‘Asociación Vecinal de Perjudicados por el Bernabéu’ (Neighbourhood Association of People Affected by the Bernabéu), in the context of Preliminary Proceedings 2034/2024 of Madrid Court of Instruction no. 53, and published by various media outlets, would like to state the following:
 
1. Real Madrid has, and has always had, the corresponding municipal licence for activity and operation, which fully covers the holding of sporting events at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Furthermore, it is absolutely untrue that Real Madrid carries out or has carried out its sporting activity under an expired licence, nor is it true that this licence has been used by third parties misleadingly before any public administration.
 
2. The concerts that have been held at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium do not require the granting of a municipal licence, but rather the granting of an administrative authorisation which, where appropriate, is granted to the music promoters of each event by the Public Entertainment and Recreational Activities Area of the Comunidad de Madrid, in accordance with Law 17/1997, of 4 July, on Public Entertainment and Recreational Activities of the Comunidad de Madrid. All the concerts held at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium have been granted such authorisation by the Comunidad de Madrid to the individual organisers of each event.

3. Real Madrid works actively, together with the Comunidad de Madrid and the Madrid City Council, for sustainability and coexistence so that the activities at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium are carried out with full respect, not only for the law but also for the environment and the neighbourhood.
 
4. The club regrets that the ‘Asociación Vecinal de Perjudicados por el Bernabéu’, in addition to showing itself to be outside of Real Madrid's efforts to guarantee the interests of this group, maliciously and knowingly conveys to the jurisdictional bodies and to public opinion, information that is categorically contrary to the truth.
