The 2029 Champions League final at Camp Nou is guaranteed
According to Mundodeportivo.
Background
FC Barcelona plans to fully complete the new Camp Nou by the Champions League final in 2029. Construction, which began in June 2023, is expected to be in full swing by the winter break of the 2023-24 season, increasing anticipation for upcoming games at the stadium.
Why this is important
The confirmation of Camp Nou as the venue for the 2029 Champions League final has great significance for FC Barcelona. The stadium will not only be an architectural masterpiece, but will also play a central role in the 2028-29 season as the team competes for the prestigious title in front of their home crowd. The preparations and progress of the construction work are crucial for the club's future match impact on the European stage.
Key findings
- The 2029 Champions League final at Camp Nou is guaranteed.
- FC Barcelona is sure that the new Camp Nou will be ready for the Champions League final in 2029.
- It is clear that the Camp Nou is scheduled to end in 2029, by Xavier Bosch.
UEFA has chosen Camp Nou as the venue for the 2029 Champions League final. The game will take place on June 2, 2029. Construction work on the FC Barcelona stadium began exactly on June 1, 2023. There are six years between these two dates. In other words: there are more than two years and six months between now and the grand finale. Although the project is behind schedule and progressing more slowly than initially announced, there is no doubt that the stadium, entrances and surrounding area will be in perfect condition by the date marked in red on the calendar. As Joan Sentelles, director of Espai Barça, reported in Catalunya Ràdio, the club is working with the realistic idea that the work on the stadium will be completed at least a year in advance. The plan is to play the entire 2028-29 season with the stadium 100% remodeled, with all 104,000 seats covered, fully functional video walls and all indoor services operational. The plan envisages that after the winter break of the 2023-24 season, the third grandstand on the back straight and the front part of the south curve, which faces the Maternitat district, will be occupied. In addition, the third row seats will be installed there in the spring and the two gates will be able to be opened. After the end of the current season, i.e. in June 2024, there should be a period of more than four months
The structures for the so-called Big Lift will be added, which will eventually cover the entire grandstand. The 2027-28 season will then be dominated by the 1927 Olympic Stadium, i.e. the Montjuïc, relocated home of FC Barcelona, while work on the renovation of the Camp Nou is being completed there. The 2028-29 season will then be the first season in which FC Barcelona members and fans will be back at Camp Nou. Another year of buffer would then be planned for the Champions League final in 2029. So there is no reason to worry that the stadium will not be ready by this important date. However, whether the club will be able to cover the horrendous costs of converting the stadium without the club becoming massively indebted is another question.
What happens next
In the coming months, FC Barcelona will continue to work on the completion of the new Camp Nou to ensure the stadium is ready in time for the 2028-29 season. Fans can look forward to an improved stadium experience that will offer all modern amenities. In addition, the club is expected to play the entire 2028-29 season in the converted stadium, significantly improving the season outlook.
