FC Barcelona to Host First Match at Partially Completed Camp Nou this Saturday
The club confirmed they are set to host at the still-under-construction Camp Nou this Saturday. They will welcome the Bilbao team in domestic competition two and a half years after they moved out to allow renovations to start.
“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 though over 45,000 attendees can be present under the licence granted. After final construction, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, up from the previous 99,000. Barça announced finished work included an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
