Nadal Lined up to Join Perez on Real Madrid Board

The club will seek ratification of Nadal’s board seat at an Extraordinary General Assembly, adding a 22-time Grand Slam champion to its leadership.

  • Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has accepted an offer to join the Real Madrid Board of Directors, with the appointment to be submitted for ratification by the Extraordinary General Assembly on November 21.
  • The Real Madrid Board met on Wednesday and unanimously approved submitting the proposal to the Extraordinary General Assembly, officially initiating ratification of Nadal Parera's appointment per article 46 of the Bylaws.
  • Real Madrid described Nadal as "one of the greatest legends in the history of sport." The Spanish athlete won 22 Grand Slam titles, including a record 14 French Open crowns, and two Olympic gold medals.
  • His appointment fuels speculation that Nadal could one day succeed President Florentino Perez as Real Madrid president, a possibility discussed in Madrid circles for years though never formally confirmed.
  • Nadal emphasized his immediate goal is "to learn and contribute" rather than pursue succession plans, intending to bring his experience while learning Real Madrid's inner workings firsthand.
