Official: Real Madrid confirm Kylian Mbappe presentation date and time

Having announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe on June 3, Real Madrid have now confirmed the date on which his official presentation as a club player will take place.

Releasing a statement, Los Blancos have announced that the French superstar will be formally presented next Tuesday, July 16, at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“Real Madrid C. F. announces that next Tuesday 16 July, at 12:00, the presentation of our player Kylian Mbappé will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium,” the statement read.

“Beforehand, the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, will receive Kylian Mbappé at the Ciudad Real Madrid for the protocol act of the signing that binds our new player to the club for the next five seasons.”

Once the presentation is completed, Mbappe will answer questions from the media in the Santiago Bernabeu press room.

Grand plans for Mbappe’s presentation

Given that he is one of the best players in the world and one of the biggest signings Real Madrid have made, the club are planning a grand event to welcome Kylian Mbappe.

A walkway will be installed from the changing room exit to the stage that will be set up in the North end of the stadium.

Mbappe’s walk along this catwalk will be accompanied by a fire effect on the sides, while the public address system and musicians will provide a soundtrack to his entrance.

Mbappe will take to the field with 80,000 fans thronging the Bernabeu stands, wearing the official Real Madrid kit for 2024-25, sporting the shirt with the No. 9 on the back.

The guests will be on the stage installed on the pitch. The 360° panoramic video scoreboard will show images of the Parisian star’s superb career, especially the World Cup won in Russia six years ago.
