Peña Madridista San Francisco & Golden Road Brewing proudly invite you to join us at Underdogs Cantina to watch the UCL match between REAL MADRID vs SL BENFICA.

- ---------------------------------

The San Francisco Bay Area is a diverse community comprised of people from many cultures, ethnicities, and

lifestyles. We are proud of our community, and fully embrace this diversity by welcoming all Madridistas in

the area to join our Peña and cheer on Real Madrid with us. As a group, we strongly believe that it is our love

and passion for Real Madrid that unites us… as one giant Madridista family

Peña Madridista San Francisco Bay Area identifies its roots to the Real Madrid’s 2014 summer tour, where the

team participated in the International Champions Cup (ICC). The team took part in the friendly match, on a hot

summer day at Cal Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California, in front of a sold-out crowd of 63,000 attendees.

Although at the time, the San Francisco Bay Area did not have an official group of Madridistas to represent

them, it was that very same day that things were about to forever change.

That day, the eventual founder members of the Peña were all in attendance during the game. Although they

still did not know each other, it was fate and Madridismo that brought them together to a single place. Without

realizing, this Real Madrid game saw the birth of #MadridistasSF. Once all the founding members had the

opportunity to connect with one another on gameday, it did not take long for them to identify the need for an

official Peña in their community. July, 26, 2014 is a day marked in the history pages of Peña Madridista San

Francisco; this was the day that united all Madridismo in the Bay Area and would cement the roots for the

Peña.

With the aid of social media, the founding members along with some Madridistas began getting together to

watch the games as an organized group. On November 4, 2016, just after a few months of gathering,

organizing, and preparing all documentation required, all the hard work and efforts led to an unprecedented

achievement in our area; the group received the official recognition from Real Madrid CF as an official Peña.

In the year 2019, Peña Madridista San Francisco Bay Area was granted the non-profit status under State and

Federal requirements [503(c)7]. This recognition represents part of the commitment and dedication the Peña

board, and its members, to the community in which we live in.

Today, Peña Madridista San Francisco Bay Area stands as the 12 th officially recognized Real Madrid

supporters’ group in the US, and a proud member of MadridismoUSA network. As an official Peña, we are

committed to serving our members, while always honoring the values and expectations of Real Madrid in the

San Francisco Bay.
