Hala Madrid
y Nada Más

It started with an argument. After a heated debate with Barça fans in FLCB (Football Lovers Club Bangladesh), Md. Tanbir Hossain, later the club's first president, told Anik Dev they needed a group of their own, for Madrid fans only. Anik Dev opened the Facebook group “Madridista™” that same night, 11 June 2011, and members began adding the Madridistas they knew. It has since grown into a Facebook community of nearly 5K group members.

Our first in-person meetups came in 2012 — Captains World in January, then Boomers Cafe that June — years of grassroots gatherings before any official status. By 2014, we were hosting nationwide screenings for the historic La Décima, and Chittagong Madridistas joined Real Madrid Foundation coaches at a football clinic held there by YKK Asia and the Bangladesh Football Federation.

On December 26, 2019, Real Madrid recognized us as the first official supporters' club in Bangladesh.

That recognition opened doors: a dedicated feature from Managing Madrid, coverage from Spain's La Galerna, and two invitations to meet club president Florentino Pérez in person in Jeddah — where we presented him with a hand-stitched Bengali nakshi kantha bearing the Real Madrid crest. Real Madrid C.F.'s own Facebook page has featured the moment directly.

Since 2023, we've secured 111 official match tickets across 34 fixtures for our members — Bernabéu nights, away Champions League legs, Supercopa finals in Jeddah, and two seats at the 2024 Champions League Final in Wembley. A supporter in Bangladesh is far from Madrid, but being part of this family closes that distance.
