Dubai Parks and Resorts is launching the world’s first Real Madrid theme park, featuring football-themed rides, attractions and experiences.
The world’s most famous football club has signed an exclusive partnership with Dubai Holding Entertainment to open the new experience for sports fans in late 2023.
The park is inspired by Real Madrid, named by FIFA as the greatest club of the 20th century. Real Madrid has fans across the world, with more than 430 million followers on social media.
“We are thrilled to add this ambitious project to Dubai’s thriving entertainment and leisure offer,” said Fernando Eiroa, CEO of Dubai Holding Entertainment.
“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.”
The designs are now being finalised, with attractions including Real Madrid-themed rides and coasters, football-inspired events, interactive gaming experiences, F&B outlets and a museum. Unique retail facilities will sell Real Madrid memorabilia.
“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.”
Real Madrid-themed rides and coasters
Dubai Holding Entertainment’s attractions include Ain Dubai, Dubai Parks and Resorts, Global Village, and the Coca-Cola Arena.
Dubai Parks and Resorts, the largest multi-themed leisure and entertainment destination in the Middle East, is home to four theme parks – Legoland Dubai, Legoland Water Park, Motiongate Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai.
Motiongate’s Lionsgate area recently expanded with the addition of two new coasters based on John Wick and Now You See Me. Global Village has unveiled several new and upgraded attractions for its latest season.
