The newly renovated Bernabeu Stadium has a retractable field for American football, similar to that of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England.
"We are thrilled to play the NFL’s inaugural game in Spain, a country of rich history, tradition, and passion and home to a vibrant Dolphins fanbase."Tom Garfinkel, CEO of the Miami Dolphins
Expect To See Real Madrid Forward Vincius Jr. In Attendance
Brazilian forward Vinicius will be the first Real Madrid player in line for tickets as he's struck up a relationship with current Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Vini Jr. has visited Miami several times, most recently during the December winter holiday granted to the Real Madrid team. He watched the Dolphins beat the San Francisco 49ers 29-17 at the Hard Rock Stadium.
O melhor do mundo! ⚽️🏆

Always great to have you at our house, @vinijr! 👋 pic.twitter.com/0xWUMMb1tp
The game does not have a date set, with the 2025 season starting at the beginning of September. As we have seen in England, Germany, and Mexico, Spain will continue to have international games in the future.
