The renovation and expansion Project of the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium, carried out under the design-build contract signed between FC Barcelona and Limak Construction on January 31, 2023, has made significant progress throughout 2024.
The demolition and foundation Works-key phases of the construction-have been successfully completed. Considerable progress has benn achieved in structural Works across various areas of the stadium, while critical facility and infrastructure upgrades continue to drive the stadium’s transformation. Notably, majör milestones have been reached in the construction of the service ring beneath the first stand and the Compression Ring.
The Project covers a total construction area of approximately 220,000 square meters, with around 75,000 square meters designated for renovation. As part of this effort, the lower two tiers of the stadium’s three-tiered stands will be preserved. Renovation work on these tiers, including the replacement of all seats, is currently underwqy. The top tier will be completely demolished and replaced with newly built stands, which will be fully covered by a roof spanning approximately 45,000 square meters and equipped with photovoltaic panels. In addition, a covered parking area, VIP facilities, commercial spaces, and changing rooms will be constructed around the stadium and beneath the new third-tier stands.
The two floors of the newly built third stand will include VIP lounges as well as food and beverage areas. Additionally, the FC Barcelona Museum, currently located outside the stadium, will be relocated inside the newly designed third stand. The Project is being executed with a strong focus on sustainability, with preparations underway fort he integration of photovoltaic panels, modernization of MEP systems (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), and updates to lighting and other key infrastructure components. Landscaping will also be carried out across an area of approximately 60,000 square meters surrounding 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 2026.
