Barcelona have announced they are set to host at the renovated but unfinished Camp Nou on Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish league two and a half years following their departure for construction to commence.
“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”
Attendance will be limited with 45,401 fans can be present as per the current authorization. When completed, the Camp Nou is due to hold close to 105,000 fans, up from the previous 99,000. Officials confirmed finished work included a renovated tunnel for players and new dressing rooms.
Barcelona held a public practice on the home pitch earlier this month. They mentioned they are seeking authorization from Uefa to host the next European match facing Eintracht in December in the renovated venue. Previous fixtures took place at the Olympic Stadium.
