Famous Spanish football (soccer) club Real Madrid associated with the government of Ras Al Khaimah emirate, UAE, announced a joint venture to open a sport touristic complex in 2015 : the Real Madrid Island Resort.
For an investment of $US 1 billion (more than €750 million); this huge project of 50 hectares (123 acres) will be installed on an artificial island bordering the Persian Gulf. It will offer various sport facilities, a stadium open to the sea, a residential area, a marina, several luxury hotels and… a theme park ! More details will be revealed in the future.
The project was announced last week with great ceremony in the presence of Real Madrid’s President Florentino Perez, trainer Jose Mourinho as well as current and former international players Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema et Zinedine Zidane.
"When the Real Madrid Resort Island opens its gates, visitors will become part of the legend o this club, which strives to be eternal and universal” stated Florentino Përez. “We adhere our name and potential to a unique location, a strategic meeting place and a project of unprecedented dimension located less than four hours away by flight of 2,000 million people."
He added : "This is a decisive and strategic step that will enhance the strength of this institution in the Middle East and Asia, a key region in which the passion for this club has been apparent. Our collaboration grows increasingly stronger and we are proud of it. Real Madrid and the Government of Ras Al Khaimah want to transmit the passion of Real Madrid and what it means throughout the world.”
Unlike what one might think, Real Madrid football club is not owned by a holding of the Emirates such as Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City. Maybe this project will give them ideas, who knows?
