For 2022-23 the capacity will remain almost unchanged. Then a year “away” and in ’24 -25 the return to 50%. The completion of the works is scheduled for 2025-26. Laporta: “It will be the most beautiful stadium in the world”
It had gone well at Real Madrid. In the season in which the Bernabeu was closed due to the modernization works (still partially in progress), the Blancos had had the “good fortune” to move to the small (6000 seats) “Di Stefano” during the hottest moment of the pandemic, when playing behind closed doors.
The same will not happen (hopefully …) the same for Barcelona, which in the 2023-24 season will be forced to move to the Olimpico in Montjuic while the Nou Camp will undergo a major facelift.
the ok from the municipality
–
The Blaugrana club has obtained the ok from the municipality of Barcelona for the renovation of the historic facility which will start next June. For 2022-23 they will still be able to continue to play almost with maximum capacity, before moving to the Olimpico, home of Espanyol from 1997 (last season at the legendary Sarrià) until 2009, when the Cornellà-El Pra was inaugurated. . In 2024-25, Barça will return to the Nou Camp which, however, will have a capacity limited to 50%. The completion of the works is expected in time for the start of the 2025-26 season.
“Starting the works earlier would have meant a 50% reduction for 2022-23 – said the president Joan Laporta – So we decided to proceed with the demolition of the third ring when we move to Montjuic. The Camp Nou will be the most beautiful in the world, in the most beautiful city in the world, in the most beautiful country in the world “.
