Real Madrid has been part of Madrid’s sporting history since 1902. If you want to learn about the club or attend a match, separate historical facts from details that change each season, including kick-off times, ticket availability and trophy totals.
Where the club began
The club’s official history records its formal constitution on 6 March 1902, with Juan Padrós heading the board. Its early years provide a starting point for understanding the team’s place in the city.
When looking up a trophy total, check both the date and the competition being counted. An old statistic can remain on a webpage long after the season has changed.
Finding match and ticket information
Start with Real Madrid’s official football ticket page. Confirm the opponent, competition, stadium and exact date. Check the kick-off time again before finalising travel arrangements tied to a match.
Look at the sales stage and who is eligible to buy. A fixture appearing on a calendar does not establish that tickets are currently available to the general public.
Checks before paying
- The seller’s identity and relationship to the club.
- The seat’s location, visibility and whether your group will sit together.
- The final price, including fees.
- Ticket delivery, identification and admission requirements.
- The terms covering schedule changes or cancellation.
If you compare an intermediary’s offer, check its conditions against the official information. This guide does not certify resale providers or guarantee availability.
Planning the day
Save your confirmation and read the admission instructions. Allow time for the journey and entry, particularly if travelling with children or requiring assistance. Ask directly about accessibility before choosing seats.
A stadium tour and a match ticket are different products. If you intend to visit the venue without attending a game, confirm what the tour includes and whether any areas are unavailable on your date.
