Real Madrid not only plays but also hosts concerts at the “Santiago Bernabéu” despite the license having expired in 2001, it is the category of the Association “Perjudicados del Bernabéu” (Those Affected by the Bernabéu).
An implication that came to light as Florentino Perez’s club prepares to complete the modernization works on the stadium grounds and an accusation that the Spanish club rejects, stating that it has always had all the necessary licenses, both to play games and to host several concerts.
“Real Madrid has, and has always had, its municipal activity and operating license, which fully authorizes the holding of sporting events at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium”says the club’s statement.
“Furthermore, it is completely false that Real Madrid has carried out or carries out its sporting activities with an expired license, just as it is not true that this license has been used by third parties in a misleading way before any public administration”..
According to Spanish newspaper El Confidencial, residents told the court that the club had been operating the stadium with an expired license since 2001, an accusation brought by the Union against the club and the Madrid municipality due to noise from concerts.
If the accusation is confirmed, in addition to the club, mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida and his trusted advisor Borja Carrabade will also be punished.
The position of both is already quite “weak” with regard to the concessions they guarantee at the Bernabéu before the concerts, with judge Monica Aguirre de la Cuesta also involved in the case, having already rejected the requests for defense from the mayor and his advisor . .
In conclusion, Real Madrid reiterated its desire to work so that the club’s activity can coexist respectfully with the neighborhood.
“Real Madrid is actively working, together with the Community of Madrid and the Municipality of Madrid, to guarantee sustainability and coexistence, so that stadium activities are carried out with full respect, not only for legality, but also for the environment and its area of residents”highlighted the “Queen”.
