The Camp Nou will be ready by the end of 2025

  • Barça will launch on December 19 the telematic vote to ratify the financing of Espai Barça for a maximum of 1,500 million

  • Members will have to validate themselves in the club’s census and obtain a password and a pin to be able to vote in the referendum

Ehe Camp Nou will be finished in 2025. And the new Palau Blaugrana will open in 2028. The deadlines are lengthening in time and it is confirmed that the first team of the Barça will play outside the stadium in the 2023-24 campaign. Joan Laporta’s board of directors has just established new deadlines that seem firm, once the project is redefined. Obtaining the money to carry out the works, the most delicate problem, is one step away. One click.

The one that will be given and squeezed by thousands of Barça members on December 19, in the first telematic referendum, only telematic, that Barça will organize. With their decision they must ratify the ‘yes’ that the assembly of delegates already gave on October 23, by giving permission to the board to manage the obtaining of a maximum amount of 1,500 million euros. That day only 8% of the delegates called voted.

This time, the board is confident that participation will increase substantially. The difficulty for older partners to participate may be offset by the fact that, for the first time in history, partners residing abroad will be able to participate technologically and not just in person.

Previous procedures

The partners must fulfill a series of prerequisites before December 7. First of all, update and verify the personal data contained in the club, such as email, telephone, membership code that appears on the card, personal pin code and date of birth. These last three pieces of information will be required on the voting day of December 19.

On the contrary, there is no fear that approval is in jeopardy. The 2/3 acceptance that was required in the assembly is no longer needed. Most will suffice. The forecasts estimate that the partners will vote in a 75% affirmative. In the assembly the percentage reached 89%.

“The partners were up to the task when making a far-reaching decision, they understood that it is an opportunity, that it is not an expense, but an investment,” explained Laporta, justifying the enormous investment in the substantial benefits that will be obtained: some 200 million annually. Necessary, according to the president, “to continue growing and competing at a high level.”

The three-year period to complete the Camp Nou reform (end of 2025) implies that the first team will have to play a season away from the stadium. It is not yet known where. It is known that it will be the 23-24 campaign, according to Ferran Reverter, the CEO. In the first 22-23, the team will play with a part of the closed stands, something that will be repeated in the subsequent two (24-25 and 25-26). Laporta suggested a few weeks ago that it could be in Sant Joan Despí by expanding the Estadi Johan Cruyff. The most plausible option is to access the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium.

It will cost the reform of the Camp Nou, that has not changed, around 900 million. the construction of the Palau Blaugrana – which includes a second pavilion, the ice rink and the bus parking – is estimated at 420 million. The urbanization and the campus amount to 100 million, plus another 60 million that the metropolitan plan will cost.
