Barcelona have announced their first game will take place at the still-under-construction Camp Nou over the weekend. They will welcome the Basque side in La Liga over two years following their departure so building work could begin.

“Returning home was our dream. Finally, it’s happening. We are back at Spotify Camp Nou.”

The stadium will not be at full capacity but 45,401 spectators can be present under the licence granted. When completed, the stadium’s capacity will reach over 104,000 attendees, up from the previous 99,000. The club said completed upgrades featured an updated entryway for the team along with upgraded changing facilities.
