Real Madrid expressed its pride at the news of the 22-time Grand Slam champion and longtime Real Madrid fan joining the “Los Blancos.” This statement comes after Nadal, who holds honorary membership at Real Madrid, dismissed on social media earlier in 2026 rumours suggesting he might run for the club’s presidency.

Shortly after Real Madrid shared the official announcement, Nadal reacted to it on social media and wrote, “I want to thank President Florentino Pérez and the Board for proposing that I join the Board of Directors of [Real Madrid]. I have accepted this proposal with great excitement, a desire to learn, and a willingness to contribute everything I can.” Nadal also added two pictures of him as a Madrista: one, a childhood picture of him in all white holding a soccer ball, and another of him at the legendary Santiago Bernabéu.

Despite hailing from Manacor in Mallorca, Spain, Nadal grew up a Real Madrid fan and has now become a part of the club’s management.
