Estadio Chamartín was the original home stadium of Real Madrid located in the Chamartín district of Madrid. The ground served as the club’s principal stadium in the first half of the 20th century before being replaced by a larger modern stadium.

The venue hosted domestic league matches and early club fixtures during its years of operation and played a formative role in Real Madrid’s early history. It was superseded by a newer stadium in the postwar period as the club expanded and sought higher capacity and modern facilities.

The former stadium site and its history are associated with the club’s growth during the 1920s through the 1940s, and the name Chamartín remains part of local sporting history in Madrid.

Estadio Chamartín was located in Madrid’s Chamartín area in the Community of Madrid.

• Historical role: Opened in 1924 and served as Real Madrid’s principal stadium until the club moved to a larger venue in the late 1940s.

The stadium is on Paseo de la Castellana in northern Madrid. Nearest metro stations are Santiago Bernabéu (Line 10) and Nuevos Ministerios (Lines 6, 8, 10) with numerous bus routes serving the area. It is a short walk from the business district and well-signposted from major arteries.

• If attending a match, buy tickets through official club channels (Real Madrid) due to high demand and scalping risk.
• For stadium tours, book in advance to access behind-the-scenes areas like the presidential box and press room.
• Note that the stadium name 'Santiago Bernabéu' is the commonly used name; 'Estadio Chamartín' refers to the original ground on the same site historically.
