It will therefore have taken a year for the project to materialize, but the Real Madrid women's team is officially there. While Real's decision to absorb the CD Tacon has been known since September 2019, the League finally validated the operation on July 1, allowing Real Madrid to officially launch its female team for next season.

- Real Madrid CF⚽ (@realmadrid) July 1, 2020Many arrivals planned
And since Real Madrid remains Real Madrid regardless of the team involved, Florentino Pérez has already planned large investments in order to build a team capable of competing with FC Barcelona, which has already taken a big lead and finished first in the 2019-2020 championship, interrupted by the pandemic (the promoted Tacon / Real hybrid team finished 10th out of 16). The Swedish stars Kosovare Asllani and Sofia Jakobsson, 3rd in the last world and arrived last year, should thus be joined by several players including the Mexican from Atletico Kenti Robles and the Spanish international Marta Cardona (Real Sociedad) according to AS. The club expects in any case a crowd of arrival. David Aznar, the coach who had raised Tacon in the first division before his absorption by Real, should be kept on the bench.
The team, which resumes training on Monday, will remain in Valdebebas, Real's training center, where Tacon had already taken up residence last year. And while waiting for the new arrivals, the stars of the club like Asllani, Jakobsson, Malena Ortiz and Thaisa Moreno have already posed with the new Merengues jersey.
