Real Madrid have announced today that the training ground formerly Ciudad Real Madrid located in Valdebebas will change its name to Ciudad Real Madrid Florentino Perez after the current president.

The Extraordinary General Assembly approve the proposal today, with a decision made by more than 1000 representative members, in accordance with Article 28 of the Social Statutes.

Club president Florentino Perez has thanked the club for the honour: “It’s an honor, of course, but I want to do it discreetly. That is, I only ask that the name be put when I say so.

“I’m still not psychologically prepared to see my name on the door of Ciudad Real Madrid. With that condition, I’m delighted.”
