FC Barcelona Ready for Inaugural Game at Upgraded Camp Nou over the weekend

Barcelona have announced they will play at the partially upgraded Camp Nou on Saturday. They will welcome the Basque side in La Liga two and a half years since relocating so building work could begin.

“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 based on approved permits. After final construction, it will accommodate close to 105,000 fans, up from the previous 99,000. Barça announced completed upgrades featured an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
