FC Barcelona last played at the Camp Nou on May 28, and work to modernize the famous stadium is progressing every day.

The team coached by Xavi plays this season at the LluĂ­s Companys Olympic Stadium in Montjuic, which hosted the 1992 Olympics (60,000 seats).

In a spectacular timelapse video shot on a drone, you can see how the stands were knocked to the ground, and only a skeleton remained of Barka’s house.

The work will continue until the end of the 2025/26 season, but Barcelona will return to play at the Camp Nou in the 2024/25 season (only 50% of the arena’s capacity will be used).

Inaugurated in 1957, the Camp Nou is the largest football stadium in Europe, with a capacity of almost 100,000 seats. After reconstruction, the capacity of the arena will reach 105,000 seats.

The cost of the project (the facilities around the stadium will also be improved) is 1.45 billion euros (the new arena costs 900 million euros).
