Real Madrid General Director to Testify
Real Madrid General Director Testifies in Legal Case
Real Madrid’s General Director, Jose Angel Sanchez, is set to give his testimony on Tuesday as a group of residents near the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu bring a legal case against Real Madrid Estadio for potential environmental crimes.
Real Madrid Estadio and Noise Pollution Concerns
The Bernabeu stadium is managed by a company called Real Madrid Estadio, with Jose Angel Sanchez serving as the sole administrator. Sanchez wears multiple hats, also holding the CEO position at the company and serving as the General Director of Real Madrid. The football club also owns Real Madrid Estadio.
A press release from the APVB highlighted the concerns of residents affected by noise pollution from concerts held at the stadium following its renovation. Sanchez is due to testify in a Madrid court regarding the alleged environmental crimes committed by Real Madrid Estadio.
Community Impact and Concert Cancellations
The APVB emphasized the historical harmony between the neighborhood and the stadium, noting that the majority of residents are club members or fans. However, recent events have disrupted this harmony, leading to increased noise levels and discomfort for neighbors.
Real Madrid has taken steps to address the issue by canceling all remaining concerts for 2024 and collaborating with the Madrid Council to implement measures to mitigate noise levels in the future. The club’s decision to host concerts was part of their financial strategy during the renovation planning process, making it a significant issue for Real Madrid.
