Santo Domingo prepares to witness football history as the iconic rivalry between Spanish giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona arrives on Caribbean soil for the first time. On March 14, 2026, the newly renovated Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium will host the “Night of Legends” exhibition match featuring legendary players from both clubs at 7:30 p.m.
The monumental event, orchestrated by CBR Productions in collaboration with FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid Former Players Association, represents more than just a friendly encounter. It marks the inaugural major international event at the stadium following its comprehensive modernization, which now boasts state-of-the-art facilities and a seating capacity of approximately 23,000 spectators.
FC Barcelona’s legendary squad will showcase football luminaries including Yaya Touré, Philippe Cocu, Frank de Boer, Rafael Márquez, Ludovic Giuly, Javier “Saviola” Hernández, and Sergi Barjuán. Their counterparts from Real Madrid will feature iconic figures such as Iker Casillas, Marcelo, Pepe, Fernando Morientes, Claude Makélélé, and Iván Helguera—players who were instrumental in the club’s numerous domestic and European triumphs.
Organizers emphasize that the event transcends traditional exhibition matches, offering a multigenerational experience that celebrates one of sports’ most intense rivalries. With ticket sales demonstrating robust demand since their release, authorities anticipate a complete sell-out for what promises to become a landmark moment in the Dominican Republic’s sporting history.
