REAL MADRID

Located in central Spain, Madrid is Europe’s highest major capital city. Winters are cool due to its altitude, which is approximately 667 m (2,188 ft) above sea level, including sporadic snowfalls and frequent frosts between December and February. As a result weather conditions can be challenging. Real Madrid’s Chief of Pitch Maintenance, Paul Burgess was looking for an elite solution to protect Real Madrid’s training ground playing surface which is why he chose Matchsaver Automated Pitch Covers.

At Real Madrid we constantly strive to keep our playing surfaces in world class condition, this is why we chose the Matchsaver system.
