The event will also feature live music, fireworks, and the presence of Real Madrid legends, making it a truly unforgettable experience for all in attendance.

In addition to Mbappé's jersey reveal, Real Madrid has also announced changes to several other players' jersey numbers. Eduardo Camavinga will switch from number 12 to 6, Federico Valverde will move from 15 to 8, and Aurélien Tchouaméni will change from 18 to 14.

The new jerseys, including Mbappé's number 9, will be available for purchase starting Thursday, July 11, at the Santiago Bernabéu Shop and through all official Real Madrid sales channels.
