After our lunch on November 7 with Merel van Dongen, then football player of Atlético de Madrid, and our New Year’s drink last January 9 in the Metropolitano stadium, it is Real Madrid’s turn on March 5!
Through our secretary Richard van Vliet, we have Jose luis ruiz exposito, Director Corporativo of Real Madrid, as a guest speaker for the upcoming lunch. José Luis, former EY Partner and now a member of Real Madrid’s board of directors and Florentino Perez’s right-hand man, will join us in the exciting world of professional football, which has grown into a multi-billion dollar global industry in recent decades.
José Luis will mainly focus on strategic, operational and financial aspects of Real’s business operations, but there will also be sufficient time to address questions about current affairs, such as the operation of the new Bernabéu stadium, the state of affairs regarding the Superliga, the emerging competition with new countries such as Saudi Arabia, the further development of the women’s team… and of course whether Mbappe comes to Real or not!
In short, a very interesting and unique opportunity to get a look behind the scenes of this iconic club!
