MADRID — ifakta.co,-Real Madrid City looked a little different this week. The iconic white of Los Blancos briefly gave way to the bold burgundy of the Washington Commanders as the NFL team held a special training session at the Spanish club’s state-of-the-art facility.
The Commanders’ visit quickly drew attention from local media and fans. The team is in Europe for an off-season program, and Real Madrid’s world-class performance complex was chosen as the ideal place to run high-intensity drills and recovery sessions.
According to internal team sources, the Commanders selected Real Madrid City for its unmatched infrastructure. The facility offers advanced recovery rooms, elite strength and conditioning equipment, high-tech analytics labs, and multiple FIFA-standard pitches suitable for explosive movement training.

“The quality of the facilities here is unreal. Everything an elite athlete needs is right here,” said a Commanders staff member who accompanied the squad.
Several Real Madrid players were spotted near the training area, curious to observe how NFL athletes manage their famously demanding physical routines. Some exchanged brief conversations with the American players, sharing insights on fitness management and recovery strategies.
For the Commanders, training in Europe isn’t just about performance. It’s part of the NFL’s broader push to grow its international footprint. As global interest in American football rises, appearances like this aim to strengthen the league’s presence across the continent.
The collaboration also opens doors for deeper knowledge exchange between two global sports powerhouses, particularly in sports science and analytics.
The Commanders are expected to continue using Real Madrid City for several more sessions before returning to the United States to resume their off-season preparations.
