FC Barcelona to Host Historic Game at Upgraded Camp Nou over the weekend
The club confirmed they will play at the renovated but unfinished Camp Nou this Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish league 30 months since relocating to allow renovations to start.
“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”
The stadium will not be at full capacity though over 45,000 attendees will be allowed to watch based on approved permits. Once fully finished, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, a rise from the old capacity. Officials confirmed completed upgrades featured a renovated tunnel for players along with upgraded changing facilities.
Preparatory Events
The club conducted a fan-accessible workout on the home pitch on 7 November. Officials stated they are seeking authorization from European football’s governing body for their upcoming Champions League fixture facing Eintracht next month at Camp Nou. They have been hosting matches at the Olympic Stadium.
