Barça Ready for Historic Fixture at Upgraded Camp Nou this Saturday
Barça revealed they are set to host at the still-under-construction Camp Nou this Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Bilbao team in domestic competition two and a half years following their departure to allow renovations to start.
“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Attendance will be limited with 45,401 fans will be allowed to watch under the licence granted. Once fully finished, the Camp Nou is due to hold almost 105,000 spectators, a rise from the old capacity. The club said completed upgrades featured a renovated tunnel for players along with upgraded changing facilities.
Stadium Testing
The club conducted a public practice on the home pitch on 7 November. The club said they are seeking authorization from Uefa to play their next home Champions League game facing Eintracht next month at Camp Nou. They have been hosting matches at the Olympic Stadium.
