Santiago Bernabéu renovation 

The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium has undergone a major transformation since renovation work began in 2019. The project is now practically complete, giving Real Madrid's home ground a modern design and upgraded facilities while preserving its place in the club's history.

The stadium features a fully operational retractable roof that protects spectators from adverse weather, a 360° video scoreboard, and a redesigned façade. Its innovative retractable pitch system allows the natural grass surface to be stored in a climate-controlled underground facility, known as the hypogeum, when the stadium is used for other events. Further work on automating the pitch movement system is ongoing.

Visitors can experience the transformed stadium through panoramic views, the Real Madrid Museum, trophy displays, and other tour highlights.
