FC Barcelona Set to Play First Match at Renovated Camp Nou this Saturday
Barça revealed they are set to host at the partially upgraded Camp Nou this Saturday. The club will host the Bilbao team in La Liga 30 months since relocating so building work could begin.
“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”

After final construction, the Camp Nou is due to hold almost 105,000 spectators, increasing from the former 99,000. The club said completed upgrades featured an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
