Barcelona are braced for a fresh financial hit of £17million as their move away from the Camp Nou for the 2023/24 campaign has been confirmed.
The city’s Olympic Stadium – also known as the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys – will play host to Barca’s home matches during the 2023/24 season. With a current capacity of 60,713 seats, the stadium which hosted the 1992 Olympic Games is the second largest in Catalonia and fifth in Spain.
The redevelopment of the Camp Nou comes after their El Clasico rivals Real Madrid commenced the renovation process of their Santiago Bernabeu stadium; which saw Los Blancos play at their reserve Castilla side’s stadium for the 2020-21 campaign.
