Florentino Pérez has been re-elected -- unopposed -- as Real Madrid president for the next four years, the club has confirmed, APA reports citing ESPN.
Pérez called presidential elections earlier this month, and potential candidates had 10 days to submit their candidacies to the club's board.
The 77-year old construction magnate and former politician has been Madrid president in two spells, between 2000 and 2006, and since 2009.
The club has strict eligibility requirements for the position, which were tightened in a vote of club members in 2012.
A candidate must have been a Real Madrid member for at least 20 years, and be able to provide a bank guarantee -- backed by their own personal wealth -- worth at least 15% of the club's budget.
Pérez has not faced an opposition candidate since returning as president in 2009, with no challengers in 2013, 2017, 2021 and now in 2025.
Madrid are the reigning LaLiga and Champions League winners and have already won two trophies this season -- the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup -- but were beaten 5-2 by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final on January 12.
Pérez is one of the most influential figures in Spain, and has transformed Real Madrid -- having a huge impact on Spanish, European and world football -- since first winning the presidency in 2000.
His first term, known as the 'Galáctico' era, saw him sign superstars Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo Nazario and David Beckham, winning two league titles and the 2002 Champions League.
However, three seasons without a trophy led Pérez to resign in 2006, as he was succeeded by Ramon Calderón.
