Future sports city
In 2015, the club announced plans for a new training facility to be built in the city of Alcorcón, 15 km southwest of the Madrid metropolitan area.[5] According to the preliminary design of the new sports city, the training centre would accommodate 11 regular-sized training pitches, a stadium with a capacity of 15,000 seats, a medical centre, a dressing room building and a residential building for the players.[6] With an area of 1.4 million m2, the new complex would cost about €114 million and be surrounded with a sports club including a golf course, multiple tennis courts and swimming pools, also accommodating a hotel and a shopping centre.
Ultimately the club chose a different plan and constructed the Centro Deportivo Wanda Alcalá de Henares (north-east of Madrid) which opened in 2019, primarily for its women's section.[7]
