This new partnership between Legends and Real Madrid will further develop 
relationships with fans and deliver a seamless and integrated experience that 
truly represents the Real Madrid brand across all online and retail physical

As part of the Club's international growth strategy, the new official online 
store (

) will include premium and exclusive Real Madrid merchandise for fans of all 
ages. The e-commerce platform will be available in eight different languages 
and features innovative design elements, an exceptional user experience, and 
will serve fans around the world. The new official online store is innovative, 
leveraging modern technology and infrastructure to allow Real Madrid to 
integrate e-commerce experiences directly into any of its digital channels. 

The official online store is a key pillar in Real Madrid's digital strategy 
that puts the fan experience squarely at the center of the business. A true 
omnichannel experience is a fundamental part of the strategy, and the 
partnership with Legends takes a major step toward the vision of a 
comprehensive shopping experience, online and in stores, for all Socios, 
Madridistas, and fans around the world to find their favorite official 
products. The comprehensive retail program will promote relevant offers in a 
seamless purchase experience, whenever and where ever fans go to engage with 
the team.

The Real Madrid Flagship Megastore will open its doors as part of the ongoing 
state-of-the-art transformation of the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (

), and will be a revolutionary shopping experience for Socios, Madridistas, 
local, and international fans visiting the stadium. Later this year, Real 
Madrid will open an interim Megastore at the stadium, which boasts two floors 
on the south side of the stadium. With exclusive product assortments, 
customization stations, and a new range of leisurewear and team products, 
accessories, and the widest selection of Real Madrid technical product, the 
Megastore will provide a one-of-a-kind experience for fans. Further details 
about the interim Real Madrid Megastore will be released in the coming weeks.

Additionally, Legends will reopen three Real Madrid official stores (

) in downtown Madrid, with the latest Real Madrid kit and training wear, adult 
and kids' apparel, footballs, scarves, gifts, and more. The official team 
stores are in El Carmen, Gran Via, and Arenal, with additional official stores 
located in Barcelona and Mexico.

The comprehensive retail platforms will offer the latest assortment of fan 
gear, kits, headwear, customized products, authenticated memorabilia, and 
accessories at the stadium, online, and at official stores. Legends 
International and Legend Global Merchandise will leverage the Legends 
comprehensive service solution platform to deliver this omnichannel retail 
experience on a global basis.

Legends has worked with Real Madrid since 2018 when the company was appointed 
to provide strategic insight and guidance into optimizing commercial 
opportunities in the redevelopment of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Using its 
holistic approach, Legends worked in partnership with Real Madrid to review the 
existing operations and create innovative, profitable, and fan-led experiences 
to drive the business of the stadium 365 days per year. The detailed findings 
of this work were then integrated into the designs and construction program to 
create a robust, deliverable business model. Legends continues to work with 
Real Madrid through the construction process to ensure the delivery of the 
business plan.
