Barcelona Ready for First Fixture at Renovated Camp Nou over the weekend
The club confirmed they will play at the still-under-construction Camp Nou this Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Basque side in domestic competition over two years following their departure for construction to commence.
“We’ve dreamed about the return. Now, it’s here. We’re back home. Back at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Attendance will be limited with 45,401 fans are permitted inside based on approved permits. When completed, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, a rise from the old capacity. The club said recent additions comprise a new players’ tunnel plus modern locker rooms.
Stadium Testing
The club conducted a public practice on the home pitch in early November. The club said they were hoping for permission from Uefa for their upcoming Champions League fixture facing Eintracht in December at Camp Nou. Their recent games have been held in the temporary ground.
