Enrique Riquelme, executive president of the Cox Group and member number 41,736 of the club, has officially announced his candidacy for the presidency of Real Madrid. The businessman communicated his decision to the Electoral Board and has until Saturday to formalize the requirements. His team is working against the clock to present the necessary endorsements and compete with Florentino Pérez at the polls.
Technology as the pillar of Riquelme's candidacy 🤖
Riquelme plans to implement an analysis system based on artificial intelligence to optimize the performance of the youth academy. His plan includes biometric sensors at the Valdebebas Sports City and a global scouting software that processes data from over 50 leagues. He also proposes a digital platform for members to vote on minor tactical decisions, such as schedule changes or kit designs, using blockchain to guarantee transparency.
Riquelme's plan for members to decide even the VIP box menu 🍤
Riquelme's flagship proposal is an app where members can vote on whether the team plays with three center-backs or whether the paella on match day has more or less seafood. Florentino must be sweating, not because of the electoral competition, but because he fears the fans will decide to change the anthem for a reggaeton song. At least Riquelme promises free WiFi at the stadium, something that not even the futuristic Bernabéu has well resolved.
