Perez also talked about plans for a possible Real Madrid theme park to be built in the Spanish capital. The club that calls itself the best in the world remains far behind other European teams when it comes to women’s soccer. “The top teams are starting to understand that women’s soccer can contribute immensely to the club,” said Pedro Malabia, women’s soccer director for the Spanish league. More than 22,000 people watched an Atletico Madrid women’s match at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium earlier this year. “If someday a team such as Real Madrid decides to venture into women’s football, it will be very welcome.”The consensus is that Real Madrid will eventually join the growing list of clubs with a women’s team.
