Real Madrid’s entry into the event will have an operational and hospitality impact. As the northern sector of MADRING is only about 200 meters from the main entrance of the club’s complex, some selected facilities may be used during the race weekend.
Real Madrid’s center occupies an area of 120 hectares and brings together structures used by the men’s and women’s teams, youth categories, and basketball, in addition to the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. Nearby is the area through which the northern part of the track passes, including turn 12, called La Monumental.
The partnership also foresees the club’s presence in MADRING’s hospitality areas during the weekend. Real Madrid idols and other personalities linked to the club are expected to participate in the activities, further bringing football and Formula 1 closer together throughout the three-day event.

The circuit’s debut will also mark Madrid’s return to the Formula 1 calendar after 45 years. With Real Madrid integrated into the local organization, Valdebebas will play a central role in the event, bringing together two of the city’s biggest sporting attractions in the same region.
