Barcelona to Host Historic Match at Partially Completed Camp Nou on Saturday
The club confirmed they are set to host at the renovated but unfinished Camp Nou over the weekend. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Basque side 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.”
Not all seats will be available with 45,401 fans can be present under the licence granted. When completed, the Camp Nou is due to hold close to 105,000 fans, increasing from the former 99,000. The club said finished work included a renovated tunnel for players and new dressing rooms.
