Barça Ready for First Game at Renovated Camp Nou on Saturday
The club confirmed they are set to host at the renovated but unfinished Camp Nou this Saturday. The club will host the Bilbao team in domestic competition two and a half years after they moved out to allow renovations to start.
“Returning home was our dream. Finally, it’s happening. We are back at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Not all seats will be available but 45,401 spectators can be present under the licence granted. Once fully finished, it will accommodate almost 105,000 spectators, a rise from the old capacity. Officials confirmed recent additions comprise an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
Preparatory Events
Barcelona held a fan-accessible workout at the Camp Nou earlier this month. They mentioned they were hoping for permission by UEFA for their upcoming Champions League fixture facing Eintracht in December at Camp Nou. They have been hosting matches in the temporary ground.
