Dubai Parks and Resorts and Real Madrid have announced the name of the world’s first football theme park – Real Madrid World.
Announced last year, the new park will be home to themed attractions, signature coasters, interactive games, immersive rides and unique fan experiences inspired by “the winning spirit and values” of Real Madrid, Dubai Parks and Resorts said in a press release.
Guests will experience the past, present and future of the football club. Visitors will “come face to face with icons from across different eras and share the passion of some of the heroic comebacks and greatest achievements that have created the legend of Real Madrid, both on and off the pitch”, the press release added.
Highlights will include family-friendly attractions, themed F&B, and unique retail stores selling a collection of official Real Madrid merchandise.
Real Madrid World is opening as part of Dubai Parks and Resorts, the Middle East’s largest theme park destination. The site already contains parks such as Motiongate Dubai, Legoland Dubai and Legoland Water Park.
“We are thrilled to add this ambitious project to Dubai’s thriving entertainment and leisure offer,” Fernando Eiroa, CEO of Dubai Holding Entertainment, said last year.
“Real Madrid is a megastar of world football and one of the world’s most recognised sports teams, with an unmatched track record of success and millions of passionate supporters from every corner of the planet.”

Dubai Holding Entertainment’s attractions portfolio includes Ain Dubai, Dubai Parks and Resorts, Global Village, and the Coca-Cola Arena.
“We look forward to engaging sports fans, families, and children in new and exciting ways and supporting an active youth community across the UAE,” added Eiroa.
“This project is in consonance with our vision to contribute to enhancing Dubai as a leading tourist destination.”
