Futbol There are three major soccer teams in Madrid and they are Real Madrid, Atletico de Madrid, and Rayo Vallecano. When Real Madrid and Atlético play in the first division, the Spanish Soccer League normally ensures that they play at home on alternate weekends. The majority of competitions are played on Sunday, starting at 5 p.m. during the winter and 7 p.m. during the summer. Matches are often scheduled for Saturdays to allow teams to prepare mid-week. Real Madrid Soccer TeamReal Madrid, some would say the best football
team of the 20th Century, plays at the famous Santiago Bernabéu
stadium located near the Paseo de Castellana. The Bernabéu
Stadium has capacity for around 75,000 seated spectators and was
built in 1947.
Visitors are welcome to tour the stadium and the Trophy Room (Sala de Trofeos) from Tuesday to Sunday, 10.30 a.m. - 7.30 p.m. Each visit costs 500 pesetas for adults, and 300 pesetas for children. Tickets may be obtained from the ticket office at the stadium itself, near the Sala de Trofeos. Tickets for Real Madrid games can be obtained by calling (+34) 902-324-324. If you need an English-speaking operator they will provide one. Tickets generally go on sale several days before each game. Tickets can be paid for over the phone with a credit card and later collected at Taquilla 14 (Gate 14) at the stadium on the day of the game. Website: http://www.RealMadrid.com.
