A historic legends Clásico draws over 30,000 fans in Costa Rica

The INS Stadium in San José hosted, for the first time in the country, a showdown between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona legends in an unforgettable night for Central American football.

On February 7, more than 30,000 fans filled the INS Stadium in San José to witness a historic clash between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona legends. On the pitch, iconic names such as Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Carles Puyol for Barça, and Iker Casillas, Pepe, Guti and Makélélé for Madrid, delivered a Clásico that will remain in the memory of Costa Rican supporters.

The match ended in a 2–0 victory for Real Madrid, with goals from Antonio Núñez and Guti, but the event went far beyond the final score. A full agenda of activities — including the official press conference, Gala Dinner, Meet & Greet sessions and a youth clinic — reinforced the experiential and community-driven nature of the occasion.

NSN managed the relationship with both clubs and their key players, while overseeing the activation and delivery of all event operations to ensure a seamless execution. The live broadcast on Canal 7, Teletica and TDMax further expanded its reach, bringing the spectacle to thousands of additional fans.

The date was particularly significant for the company, which on the same day, alongside Stoneweg Places & Experiences, was also present in Ecuador managing the final match of Inter Miami’s tour, delivering two major international events in two different countries within a single day.
