A new horizon for Real Madrid

In a historic moment for Real Madrid, Enrique Riquelme has taken a decisive step by presenting his candidacy for the presidency of the club. With the financial backing of Andbank, Riquelme aims to transform the management of the team and give its members the opportunity to decide its future. Upon leaving the club's headquarters, he expressed his enthusiasm and determination in a speech that resonated with the fundamental values of Madridismo.

“Today is a very important day for Real Madrid,” Riquelme began, emphasising that this is not a candidacy against anyone, but a proposal focused on the well-being of the club. “We have worked hard to create a serious and exciting project, both in sports and socially,” he added, highlighting his commitment to all fans.

The candidate called on the members: “Don't be afraid, have the courage to listen to us.” With this phrase, Riquelme seeks to inspire confidence among fans and encourage them to actively participate in the elections. He promised that his project will not only focus on the immediate present but will also have a long-term vision that will benefit the club in various areas.

As the election date approaches, Florentino Pérez has also intensified his efforts to consolidate his position as president. Using his past achievements, especially his multiple Champions League titles, he has launched an impactful visual campaign with posters highlighting his legacy and the history yet to be written alongside the team.

As both candidates prepare for the electoral contest, Real Madrid members face a crucial decision. The possibility of choosing between two distinct visions promises to be one of the most exciting moments in the club's recent history. Riquelme has promised to be available 24/7 to explain every aspect of his project once he is officially named a candidate by the Electoral Board.
