With the Soccer World Cup 2018 nearly upon us, it was an ideal time for the launch of the Real Madrid World of Football Experience in Melbourne on the 7th of June. The UEFA Champions League finals win reinforced Real Madrid’s status as the world’s greatest football club and it is no wonder the World Premiere of the Real Madrid WOF experience was such a grand affair. Real Madrid was represented by their ambassador and FIFA World Cup winner Alvaro Abeloa, as their current star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, Keylor Navas were representing their own countries in Russia. There was an amazing display of the collection of paraphernalia, including their recent record breaking 13th UEFA championships trophy, which would thrill soccer lovers as it gives an insight into the decorated club’s history and an exclusive look behind the scenes. The exhibition runs until the 5th of August at the Melbourne Museum Plaza and is a must see for soccer fans.
