Barça Set to Play Historic Game at Upgraded Camp Nou over the weekend
The club confirmed they will play at the still-under-construction Camp Nou over the weekend. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Bilbao team in domestic competition 30 months after they moved out so building work could begin.
“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 will be allowed to watch under the licence granted. Once fully finished, it will accommodate close to 105,000 fans, up from the previous 99,000. Barça announced completed upgrades featured a renovated tunnel for players plus modern locker rooms.
Preparatory Events
Barcelona held a fan-accessible workout at the Camp Nou in early November. They mentioned they were hoping for permission by UEFA for their upcoming Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt in December at the stadium. Their recent games have been held at the Olympic Stadium.
