The famous stadium, where Real Madrid plays, will open its doors from 24 to 31 December and offer entertainment for the general public. Just as Disneyland in Paris, Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park or Santa Claus’s village in Rovaniemi, Finland are transformed into magical places during the holidays, this year people will also taste the magic of Christmas in the football sanctuary.
This time, the White Ballet will not be presented here, but fun attractions, lights and festive music will be played. In short, it will be a great amusement park. “The work is complete and I am very satisfied. Some details still need to be fine-tuned, such as noise problems,” the architect of the extraordinary transformation of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Josep Ribas, told the station 3Cat.
So far, excessive noise is the biggest obstacle to Christmas fun. However, it seems that everything was solved with the help of acoustic experts.
People who come to the well-known stadium for the Christmas atmosphere will be treated to entertainment even before it. Video mapping will appear on the facade. But it will also concern the club itself and football.
An interesting fact is that Real is scheduled to play a Spanish La Liga match against Sevilla on December 21, and they will host Betis here on January 4, 2026.
The second big stadium in Madrid will not be left behind during the holidays. At the Metropolitano area, where Atlético plays, one of the largest ice rinks in Europe will appear for the second time, which can accommodate up to 1,500 skaters at the same time. Here, too, light shows will be available, as well as workshops for children or stalls with Christmas refreshments.
