Barça Ready for Inaugural Fixture at Partially Completed Camp Nou this Saturday
Barcelona have announced they are set to host at the partially upgraded Camp Nou over the weekend. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao in La Liga 30 months after they moved out for construction to commence.
“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Attendance will be limited but 45,401 spectators are permitted inside as per the current authorization. When completed, the stadium’s capacity will reach almost 105,000 spectators, up from the previous 99,000. Officials confirmed completed upgrades featured an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
Stadium Testing
The club conducted a fan-accessible workout inside the stadium on 7 November. The club said they were hoping for permission by UEFA to play their next home Champions League game versus the German side next month at Camp Nou. Their recent games have been held at Estadio Olímpic Lluís Companys.
