Barça to Host Historic Game at Renovated Camp Nou this Saturday
Barcelona have announced they are set to host at the still-under-construction Camp Nou over the weekend. They will welcome the Basque side in La Liga over two years following their departure to allow renovations to start.
“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Not all seats will be available but 45,401 spectators will be allowed to watch as per the current authorization. Once fully finished, the Camp Nou is due to hold close to 105,000 fans, a rise from the old capacity. Barça announced finished work included a renovated tunnel for players plus modern locker rooms.
Stadium Testing
Barcelona held an open training session at the Camp Nou on 7 November. The club said they were hoping for permission by UEFA to host the next European match against Eintracht Frankfurt in December in the renovated venue. Their recent games have been held at Estadio Olímpic Lluís Companys.
