Stunning new images show how Barcelona’s revamped 105,000-capacity Nou Camp will look after £1billion remodel
Stunning images of Barcelona’s new-look stadium have been released and they suggest something special is afoot.
The Nou Camp is one of football’s most iconic stadiums but closed last summer as the Catalan side look to redevelop the ground that was first built in 1957.
With cranes taking out the 100,000 seats and tearing up the turf, work has been ongoing with fans now very excited about how the fresh new stadium will turn out.
The College of Architects of Catalonia have released computer-generated images of how the modernised £1billion stadium could look and it’s quite a sight to behold.
While retaining its original essence, the Nou Camp will see its capacity increased to 105,000 with escalators to be inserted to allow fans to make their way to the highest point.
It will also see a revamped media suite with a theatre-like room for press conferences.
But the largest innovation will be the introduction of a roof with the new design set to give Barcelona the largest roof in all of Europe.
The open-air nature of the original Nou Camp was a trademark feature, however the new-look design will undoubtedly see it become one of world football’s most innovative designs.
While there’s still work to be done, Barcelona are hopeful that they might be able to start playing at the Nou Camp again as early as November this year.
The projected opening date was the start of the 2025/26 season however, with next term being their 125th as a club, the Spanish champions are keen to get themselves home for their anniversary campaign.
That could mean playing with two-thirds of the stadium open, with the final third still being worked on along with the VIP boxes.
