The Spotify Camp Nou Stadium Renovation and Expansion Project, carried out under the design-build contract signed between FC Barcelona and Limak Construction on 31 January 2023, made significant progress throughout 2025.
One of the main construction phases, including demolition and foundation works, has been successfully completed. While substantial progress has been achieved in structural and construction works across various sections of the stadium, infrastructure and essential facility works continue to contribute to the overall transformation of the venue. Significant advancements have also been made in the service ring located beneath the first tier of seating and in the completion of the Compression Ring.
The construction area covers approximately 220,000 square meters, while the renovation works extend over an area of around 75,000 square meters. As part of the renovation works, the lower two tiers of the three-tiered seating structure will be preserved in their existing form. The refurbishment of these two tiers and the replacement of all seats have been completed.
The new Camp Nou was opened in November 2025 with a capacity of 45,000 spectators. Currently, the works covering Tier 1 and Tier 2, which will increase the capacity to 62,000 spectators, have been completed, and the necessary licensing approval is expected to be obtained in 2026.
FC Barcelona has officially applied to the relevant authorities to host the UEFA Champions League Final in 2029 and the FIFA World Cup Final in 2030.
The third and upper tier of the existing stands will be completely demolished and rebuilt. The upper part of the stands will be fully covered with a new roof structure. The roof will cover approximately 45,000 square meters and will be equipped with photovoltaic panels.
Around the stadium and beneath the newly constructed third tier, indoor parking areas, VIP zones, commercial spaces and changing rooms will be built. In addition, VIP lounges and VIP food & beverage areas will be designed on two levels of the newly constructed third tier. The FC Barcelona Museum, currently located outside the stadium, will also be relocated into the newly designed third tier.
The project is progressing with a strong sustainability focus, including the integration of photovoltaic panels, modernization of MEP systems (mechanical, electrical and plumbing), upgrades to lighting systems and other key infrastructure works. Furthermore, landscaping works covering approximately 60,000 square meters will be carried out around the stadium.
Upon completion, the stadium’s capacity will increase from 99,000 to 105,000 further reinforcing Spotify Camp Nou’s status as one of the world’s most iconic football venues.
The Project is progressing on Schedule, with completion expected in 2027.
