Barça Set to Play Historic Fixture at Upgraded Camp Nou on Saturday
Barça revealed they are set to host at the partially upgraded Camp Nou on Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao in domestic competition 30 months following their departure 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 though over 45,000 attendees can be present as per the current authorization. After final construction, it will accommodate over 104,000 attendees, a rise from the old capacity. Officials confirmed recent additions comprise an updated entryway for the team plus modern locker rooms.
Preparatory Events
The club conducted a fan-accessible workout inside the stadium in early November. They mentioned they were hoping for permission by UEFA to host the next European match versus the German side next month in the renovated venue. Their recent games have been held in the temporary ground.
