Florentino Pérez to announce Real Madrid presidency bid

Florentino Pérez will announce his bid to retain the presidency of Real Madrid on Wednesday 27 May. The presentation is set for 19:00. The event will be held at the Hotel Meliá Castilla in the Chamartín district of Madrid. Pérez made the declaration after a high‑profile media appearance two weeks earlier. For the first time in more than 20 years, his candidacy will face a rival. The election will therefore not be decided behind closed doors. The candidacy presentation marks the start of the presidential election process. The upcoming vote will determine whether Pérez continues as president of Real Madrid.
