Practicing sports is already a habit among Madrid residents, who increasingly enjoy the innovative proposals made by Madrid City Council, enjoying special events, organized in emblematic places in the city and which already make up a unique sports calendar. On Friday, July 5, in Plaza de Colón, the next event will be Sports Night, where anyone, regardless of their physical condition or age, will be able to enjoy a wide variety of sports activities.
This year, the Night of Sport celebrates its second edition. The experience is already well known to the public and, without a doubt, the number of 7,500 athletes who attended its first celebration and enjoyed a unique space, created for the occasion and with multiple sporting activities, will be surpassed.
Once again, a thematic setting is recreated located in the nerve centre of the city and inspired by the villages of top-level sporting events. With opening hours between 8:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., participants can choose their favourite sport, try out new sports that are gaining popularity or take part in activities aimed at the whole family, such as body combat, body attack, zumba, grit cardio or yoga, among other modalities.
Among ball sports, there will be facilities for 3 vs 3 football where matches and ball skill circuits will be organized; 3×3 basketball with throwing and dunking contests; sofballwith experienced instructors who will teach the technique in a batting tunnel; golf, with a game simulator and the presence of teachers who will help develop technical skills; Pickleballwith matches of 2 or 4 players, who will improve their technique by combining elements of tennis, paddle tennis and badminton; and Teqballwith matches played on a curved table, with a net and a ball.

A city that projects its image through sport
One of the characteristics that define our city is its nightlife and it is increasingly common to find nights dedicated to books and museums, film screenings, videomapping on emblematic facades, gardens illuminated like works of art, or traditional open-air summer cinemas. All that was left was to include a Sports Night, as a cultural expression in this splendid agenda with which Madrid projects a national and international image of a city to live in, enjoy and full of opportunities.
For this reason, next to the Plaza de Colón, other emblematic settings of the city have been sought in which exhibitions will be held that will surprise all spectators: in the Puerta de Alcalá, a flasmob fencing; in Puerta del Sol there will be karate exhibitions, in the form of katas and, in the Plaza de Oriente, in front of the Royal Palace, there will be exhibitions of rhythmic and artistic gymnastics.
The second edition of this sporting event meets all the expectations of a city that is truly passionate about sport, including free, popular and inclusive sports practice; a show; an organization with sustainability criteria and promotion of healthy habits that foster the quality of life and well-being of citizens.
