Barcelona Set to Play Historic Match at Partially Completed Camp Nou over the weekend

Barça revealed they will play at the still-under-construction Camp Nou this Saturday. They will welcome Athletic Bilbao in La Liga 30 months after they moved out for construction to commence.

“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 are permitted inside as per the current authorization. After final construction, the stadium’s capacity will reach close to 105,000 fans, up from the previous 99,000. Officials confirmed finished work included a renovated tunnel for players plus modern locker rooms.

Preparatory Events

Barcelona held a fan-accessible workout at the Camp Nou on 7 November. The club said they were hoping for permission from Uefa for their upcoming Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on 9 December in the renovated venue. Their recent games have been held at Estadio Olímpic Lluís Companys.
