Barcelona Set to Play Inaugural Fixture at Renovated Camp Nou over the weekend
Barcelona have announced they are set to host at the still-under-construction Camp Nou this Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao in domestic competition over two years following their departure for construction to commence.
“We’ve dreamed about the return. Now, it’s here. We’re back home. Back at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Attendance will be limited though over 45,000 attendees are permitted inside as per the current authorization. Once fully finished, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, increasing from the former 99,000. The club said finished work included an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
