The world’s most successful football club of the 20th century, Real Madrid, is also in the city of Madrid. In 1982, Madrid hosted the FIFA World Cup final, making Madrid’s interest in the sport even more widely known. Also, in the same way that Paris served as the last stage of the Tour de France, Madrid served as the last stage of the Vuelta a Espaňa, another cyclist classic. Convention attendees have a whole array of sporting events available at their deposal.
Madrid is currently running to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, as they have lost to Munich and London during the 1972 Olympics, and the 2012 Summer Olympics. Sports are obviously well supported in the city of Madrid.
