Barça to Host Historic Game at Renovated Camp Nou over the weekend

Barcelona have announced they will play at the still-under-construction Camp Nou this Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Basque side in domestic competition two and a half years following their departure so building work could begin.

“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”

The stadium will not be at full capacity though over 45,000 attendees will be allowed to watch as per the current authorization. Once fully finished, it will accommodate close to 105,000 fans, a rise from the old capacity. Officials confirmed finished work included an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.

Stadium Testing

The club conducted an open training session on the home pitch in early November. They mentioned approval is being pursued from European football’s governing body to host the next European match facing Eintracht on 9 December at Camp Nou. They have been hosting matches in the temporary ground.
