Real Madrid presidency: Pérez confirmed in office for four more years

Officially“Four more years!” Florentino Pérez’s second term at Real Madrid is far from over, because as Real Madrid announces, the 74-year-old Spaniard was confirmed in office until 2025 due to a lack of competitors.

Another unrivaled election victory for Pérez

It happened quickly: On April 1, new presidential elections were initiated at Real Madrid, but because there was no candidate other than Florentino Pérez, the 74-year-old will remain in office for four more years.

Already in 2017 there was an unrivaled “election victory” and four years later Pérez will stay in office again. Both ex-interim president Vicente Boluda (66) and the 32-year-old entrepreneur Enrique Riquelme put themselves into position in the meantime, but then refrained from applying – combined with an expensive election campaign. Because: Against Pérez, a challenge currently seems hopeless – after all, he wants to open his “monument”, the converted Bernabéu, himself in autumn 2022.

Santiago Bernabéu Yeste: 29 titles (+ 4 unofficial)
Florentino Pérez: 26 Titel
Ramón Mendoza: 12 Titel

Challengers Boluda and Riquelme decline

After all: Riquelme announced that he would start in 2025 with his vision of “Real Madrid 3.0” and challenge Pérez, who has been at the top of Real Madrid since 2009 in his second era. Until then, Pérez will not only be able to realize his dream of the renovated Bernabéu, but also become the officially most successful president in Real Madrid’s history – he is only three titles short of the legendary Santiago Bernabéu Yeste, who only built the club up to what it is today after the Spanish Civil War.

In the footsteps of Santiago Bernabeu

Pérez still has big plans and was officially confirmed in office on Tuesday night by the “Junta Electoral”, the electoral committee, together with his “Junta Directiva”, the executive committee. In 2025 the Spanish builder would be 79 years old – whether he will then see his “work” as finished?

Successors would not have it easy either way, after all, a future presidential candidate must also meet certain conditions such as long-term membership as a “Socio” (allegedly 20 consecutive years) and a lot of equity (allegedly 15 percent of the expenses of a year). For many this was previously impossible (the last real presidential election came after Pérez ‘resignation in 2006), so wird Florentino Pérez Rodríguez a total of at least 24 years in office be. Can he still catch up with the legendary Bernabéu? From 1943 until his death in 1978 he managed 35 years at the head of the largest club in the world.
