The Santiago Bernabéu Trophy (Spanish: Trofeo Santiago Bernabéu) is dedicated to the memory of long-time Real Madrid president Santiago Bernabéu. It is a friendly tournament organised each year by Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, somewhere around the end of August or the beginning of September.
From 1979 to 1984 and in 1986 it was contested by 4 teams, with semifinals, third place match and final. In 1985 and since 1987 only one match between Real Madrid and an invited team was played.
The 2002 tournament consisted again of 4 teams, on the special occasion of Real Madrid's centenary as the team were founded on 6 March 1902. In recent years it has also served as a game to present the new players on the squad brought in through the summer transfer market.
Note: In case of a draw, the winner was decided on penalties.
