Real Madrid have submitted a formal request to La Liga to reschedule the date of their final match of the ongoing season, to prepare for a Taylor Swift concert. The American pop star will perform on May 30, 2024, at the Santiago Bernabeu, as a part of her ‘The Eras Tour’.
Los Blancos are expected to host fellow La Liga side Real Betis at the Bernabeu stadium, in what would be the season finale. The match would also be crucial in deciding the La Liga winner, as well as teams that qualify for the European competitions. The game is scheduled for May 26, just four days before Swift’s concert. Hence, the club has officially requested La Liga to rearrange the match date to facilitate preparations for the concert.
The 34-year-old renowned pop star will also be performing at other sporting venues all around Europe, as a part of her ‘Eras’ tour, which started in October 2023. She will be performing at the venues of Lyon, Benfica, Liverpool, Ajax, Schalke, and Hamburg. While Real Madrid’s season finale is tentative, Spanish matches often adjust based on various factors. Moreover, games are scheduled toward the season’s end based on title, qualification, and relegation considerations.
Real Madrid aims to finish the season strongly after widening their lead to six points at the top of the table. With 62 points from 25 matches, they lead, while Girona, unexpected title contenders, trail closely with 56 points.
