New Camp Nou

The New Camp Nou – The FC Barcelona Dream Takes Shape

The legendary Camp Nou is being transformed! Since the start of the renovation in 2023, FC Barcelona’s stadium has been undergoing a profound metamorphosis to become an ultramodern complex worthy of both the club and the city. Named Spotify Camp Nou, the future stadium is at the heart of the vast Espai Barça project, which is redesigning the entire Les Corts district into a cutting-edge sports, commercial, and cultural hub.

A Colossal Project

The ambition is immense: expand the stadium to 105,000 seats, add a full roof, and modernize all its facilities with the latest technologies. The total cost of the project is estimated at €1.45 billion, financed mainly through a partnership with Spotify and a long-term structured loan.

Japanese architect Nikken Sekkei, winner of the international competition, designed a fluid and luminous structure where the club’s tradition meets sustainable innovation. The stadium will be 100% accessible, powered by renewable energy, and will offer fans a truly next-generation digital experience.

The main goals of the project include:

Enhanced spectator experience: State-of-the-art facilities and more comfortable spaces to deliver an unmatched experience.
Increased capacity: Expanding the seating to welcome even more passionate fans.
Sustainability: Integrating environmentally friendly technologies to reduce the stadium’s ecological footprint.
Innovative architecture: A contemporary design that blends aesthetics and functionality.

Cutting-edge technology: Giant screens, improved connectivity, and advanced audiovisual systems.
VIP and hospitality areas: Exclusive zones offering premium services and breathtaking views of the pitch.

Where Do Things Stand in 2025?

Two years after the renovation began, the project has entered a decisive phase. FC Barcelona has announced a partial return to Camp Nou by the end of 2025.

However, this return will happen gradually. The Barcelona City Council has so far only authorized a limited capacity of 27,000 seats, corresponding to “phase 1a” of the project. This first stage includes the main stand and the south section, which have been secured and approved to host the public.

A Gradual Return Home for Barça

While waiting for the full reopening, the first team continues to play some matches at the Olympic Stadium Lluís Companys in Montjuïc, especially in the Champions League, since the new Camp Nou has not yet received all safety approvals to host major European fixtures.

The Next Phases Will Unfold as Follows:

Phase 1b: Opening of the lateral stands to reach around 45,000 seats,
Phase 1c: Addition of the north section to reach 60,000 seats, before full completion in 2026 with the roof installation, the opening of VIP boxes, and the new hospitality areas.

Work on the new Camp Nou and the new “Palau Blaugrana” arena is progressing on schedule. This global initiative, known as “Espai Barça,” represents an investment of €1.5 billion to renovate FC Barcelona’s stadium and build the new Palau Blaugrana.

The new Camp Nou: The €900 million renovation will increase capacity to 111,000 spectators from the current 99,354 (see Camp Nou capacity). The new FC Barcelona stadium will be more functional, modern, spacious, and fully covered thanks to the addition of a roof. The fully completed new Camp Nou is expected to be unveiled at the end of 2026.

€600 million will then be dedicated to the construction of the Palau Blaugrana, a 15,000-seat arena for the club’s basketball and handball teams. This new venue will meet all standards required to host, for example, a EuroLeague basketball final. Opening is also scheduled for 2026.

During the construction period, the Camp Nou Tour remains open. Take advantage of our best-priced tickets!
