Barça to Host First Game at Partially Completed Camp Nou this Saturday
The club confirmed they will play at the renovated but unfinished Camp Nou over the weekend. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Bilbao team in domestic competition two and a half years after they moved out to allow renovations to start.
“We’ve dreamed about the return. Now, it’s here. We’re back home. Back at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Not all seats will be available with 45,401 fans can be present based on approved permits. After final construction, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, increasing from the former 99,000. Officials confirmed finished work included a new players’ tunnel and new dressing rooms.
Preparatory Events
Barça organized a fan-accessible workout at the Camp Nou in early November. Officials stated approval is being pursued from Uefa for their upcoming Champions League fixture versus the German side in December at the stadium. Their recent games have been held at Estadio Olímpic Lluís Companys.
