JAKARTA - Real Madrid president Florentino Perez took the first step in holding the club's presidential election on Thursday, January 2, 2025, local time, by holding a Board of Directors meeting next week.

The election to lead the La Liga giants is held every four years. Perez has been re-elected without an opponent since he returned to the club for a second term in 2009.

The requirement to run for President of Real Madrid is very strict, including having been a member of the club for at least 20 years and being able to personally guarantee 15 percent of the club's budget.

"The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, held a meeting with the club's Board of Directors on January 7, 2025, at 17.30 Madrid time, to begin the process of selecting the President and Board of Directors for the next four years," the club said in a brief statement.

Perez first became President of Real Madrid in 2000, leading the Galactico era, before resigning in 2006.

He returned to the lead in 2009, was elected without an opponent and did not face opponents in 2013, 2017, or 2021. In 2021, the election process will end after only 13 days.

Perez has led the most successful period in the club's history, winning a total of 37 trophies, including six unprecedented Champions Leagues in the last decade.
