Real Madrid City is now in its 17th season as a major source of pride for the entire madridismo. The facility was officially opened on September 30, 2005, under the supervision of club president Florentino Pérez, and has since undergone numerous improvements to maintain its position as the best sports complex in the world. Carlo Ancelotti's squad work out there on a daily basis and all team meet-ups happen at the residence.

Since 2016, the basketball team has been completely integrated into Real Madrid City, thanks to the sports center, which serves as both the first team's training facility and the home arena for the basketball academy teams.

The women's team also train and play their home games at Real Madrid City.

The complex, on which the first stone was laid on 12 May 2004, also hosts a range of other events including Club Members' Assemblies.
