FC Barcelona Ready for First Game at Renovated Camp Nou this Saturday
The club confirmed they will play at the still-under-construction Camp Nou over the weekend. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao in domestic competition two and a half years since relocating for construction to commence.
“Returning home was our dream. Finally, it’s happening. We are back at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Not all seats will be available with 45,401 fans will be allowed to watch under the licence granted. After final construction, the stadium’s capacity will reach close to 105,000 fans, a rise from the old capacity. The club said finished work included a renovated tunnel for players and new dressing rooms.
