Real Madrid further stated that:
 
“The women’s football section will be made up of the senior and under-16s to under-19s teams.”

“A youth structure… will allow us to remain faithful to our philosophy of identifying, training and developing young talent. Our teams will also play their respective competitions from the 2020/21 season.”
 
“Real Madrid are looking forward to this new challenge with a commitment to promoting women’s football and contributing to its development and growth in our society.”
