Barcelona announced on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that it will hold the Tropeu Juan Gamper in Camnow on August 11th. Barcelona has been using the Estadi Olympics Lyuis Companis as an alternative stadium for the past two years, starting with renovation work after playing in Camnow in May 2023.
Camnow remodeling work is currently in progress. Barcelona announced its return in August, but said construction will be carried out throughout the stadium, adding that `there are still spectators and roofs on the third floor, and interior finishing work.' All facilities will be installed in 2026.
Barcelona invested 1.25 billion pounds (about 2.3238 trillion won) in Camnow renovation. The goal is to transform an ultra-modern stadium with 105,000 seats. The roof, which was only in the existing main stand, will also be expanded to the front of the stadium, and three large electronic boards will be installed on the roof. With the signing of a naming contract with music streaming company Spotify, it will be called 'Spotify Camnow'. However, as the construction proceeded slowly, the original construction plan in November 2024, the 125th anniversary of its foundation, continued to be delayed. In the end, the construction was not completed until the 2024-2025 season, and the contract for the alternative stadium had to be extended.
It is unclear whether Barcelona will have a home game at Camnow in the new season. Despite the announcement of his return, he did not reveal specific plans for the future. In the end, future operational plans are expected to be outlined according to the results revealed by the Tropeu Juan Gampers.
