Real Madrid are set to rename the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, removing the name ‘Santiago’ for marketing purposes. Therefore, the stadium will be called Estadio Bernabéu or simply Bernabéu from now on, according to a report from MARCA.
As a matter of fact, Real Madrid have been slowly implementing this change over the last few years, both on their website and even outside the stadium itself. A big possibility could come during the next few years, as the club could decide to sign a naming sponsor alongside the name Bernabéu.
Some of the products sold inside the Tour del Bernabéu also display the word itself without its former full name, per that same report from MARCA.
A few madridistas have shown their disagreement with his change, even if almost nobody actually referred to the stadium with its full name. Real Madrid could publish some kind of announcement to make this change official over the next few months.
