Everything you need to know about Madrid, the capital of soccer
Soccer (also known as European football) is the most popular sport in Spain. This is due not only to the outstanding level of its main football league and other domestic competitions, but also to the astonishing accomplishments of the Spanish teams in different international tournaments, ranging from the Champions League to the international FIFA and UEFA championships. For instance, some of the latest achievements of the Spanish national team are the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023, the UEFA EURO 2024, the Men's Olympic Tournament in 2024, and the outstanding performance in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup matches.
Madrid has a wide experience hosting sports competitions, including the organization of the FIFA World Cup in 2030. Besides the exciting matches, we also recommend you to visit the capital city of Spain with our new tailor-made activities and enjoy with its tourist attractions, including the soccer museums.
The soccer museums’ galleries are true must-see treasures, with emblematic exhibits, interactive displays and fascinating stories about the major achievements of the best teams and players. In the fully refurbished Real Madrid CF's stadium and the new Metropolitano Stadium (Club Atlético de Madrid), visitors will be able to learn about the history of both clubs and admire their trophies.
If you are really interested in soccer, we also recommend you to visit another museum in downtown Madrid: "Legends: The Home of Football". This project was possible thanks to the initiative of Mr. Marcelo Ordás, an Argentinian entrepreneur known for being the most important collector of elite soccer memorabilia around the world. From the first balls to the original jerseys worn by players from different continents, the permanent collections of this museum show a unique insight into the history of modern soccer. Housed in a building in downtown Madrid (Puerta del Sol), the museum showcases a valuable number of objects.
