Ciudad Real Madrid
The Ciudad Real Madrid (Real Madrid City) is the training ground of the Spanish soccer club Real Madrid . It replaces the old “Ciudad Deportiva” (sports town), which was the club's training facility until 2003 and which was sold for around € 487 million to repay debt. The Cuatro Torres Business Area skyscraper complex now stands on the former grounds .
The new “Ciudad Real Madrid” is located in the north-eastern part of Madrid , in the new development of Valdebebas in the districts of Barajas and Hortaleza , close to Madrid-Barajas airport and the IFEMA exhibition center .
construction
The Ciudad Real Madrid extends over 120 hectares , of which around 30 hectares have so far been built on. In September 2005, the first construction phase of the site was inaugurated. The centerpiece is the 9,935 m 2 large T -shaped main building, on which changing rooms, training and fitness rooms, meeting and conference rooms and medical facilities for the first team and 13 youth teams are. The head of the T's acts as an area for the first team while the foot is reserved for the youth divisions. The system also has rooms for the press and radio . In May 2013, the northern wing of the first team's facility was expanded to include a 7,284 m 2 residence consisting of 60 single rooms as well as communal and recreational areas for the professional squad and supervisors of the football and basketball teams as well as the club's own media.
There are a total of 12 soccer fields around the main building, seven of which have natural and the rest of them with artificial turf . One of the pitches is divided into two half-fields and serves as a game and training facility for the club's youngest categories.
For the professional basketball team and the current six youth teams of Real Madrid is since April 2016 8225 m 2 large multipurpose hall available. This houses four playing fields, changing rooms, training and fitness rooms, conference rooms and medical facilities and offers space for up to 2000 spectators depending on the type of event.
In January 2014, the club opened a residence for young players. This offers space for 100 youth players in 50 double rooms on an area of 7,533 m 2 . In addition, the facility has communal, dining and study rooms. The youth residence is located in the north of Ciudad Real Madrid with a view of the playing fields.
