Real Madrid agree deal to open theme park in Dubai

Real Madrid have agreed a deal to open their first ever theme park based on the club.

It caused a ripple when it emerged some months ago that President Florentino Perez had planned some time ago to open a theme park next to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, an idea that never materialised.

However it has become abundantly clear that Perez was serious about the idea. The club announced on Thursday that they had agreed a deal with Dubai Parks and Resorts to open a theme park in the United Arab Emirates.

It will be the first of its kind and will include club shops, attractions, football games and a museum.
