FC Barcelona Ready for First Match at Renovated Camp Nou on Saturday
Barça revealed they will play at the still-under-construction Camp Nou on Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Bilbao team in domestic competition two and a half years after they moved out so building work could begin.
“Returning home was our dream. Finally, it’s happening. We are back at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Not all seats will be available but 45,401 spectators can be present under the licence granted. After final construction, it will accommodate almost 105,000 spectators, a rise from the old capacity. Officials confirmed recent additions comprise a renovated tunnel for players plus modern locker rooms.
