The hotel is fully rented by FC Barcelona. The bar, restaurant and parking will also remain temporarily closed to the public. The mayor calls on supporters and curious people to leave the players alone. “We want our guests to be able to prepare in peace, and for everything to proceed in an orderly and safe manner,” it said.

The municipality and the local police also work according to a strict safety plan to ensure that the Spanish team’s stay runs smoothly. “Oostkamp has the necessary experience in hosting international teams,” said the mayor. “We do this with pride, but also with the necessary serenity.”
