FC Barcelona Set to Play Inaugural Game at Partially Completed Camp Nou this Saturday

Barça revealed they will play at the partially upgraded Camp Nou on Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao 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 are permitted inside as per the current authorization. Once fully finished, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, up from the previous 99,000. Barça announced finished work included a renovated tunnel for players plus modern locker rooms.

Preparatory Events

The club conducted an open training session at the Camp Nou earlier this month. Officials stated they were hoping for permission from European football’s governing body to host the next European match against Eintracht Frankfurt on 9 December at Camp Nou. Their recent games have been held at Estadio Olímpic Lluís Companys.
