World Sports: Camp Nou can accommodate 62,000 people in the Gambel Cup in August, all of which will be completed in 2027

According to World Sports, the renovated Camp Nou Stadium can accommodate 62,000 fans to watch the game on the spot during the Gambel Cup.

Barcelona home court Camp Nou Stadium is still under renovation and only has Sundays to be closed every week. It is expected that the first two-story stands of Camp Nou Stadium will be put into use during this summer's Gambel Cup (August 10), which will accommodate 62,000 fans. Renovation will continue to be carried out in the rest of the stadium and surrounding areas, and it is expected that all completions will be completed until the summer of 2027.

The renovation of the third floor stand is currently underway, and the VIP boxes between the second and third floors are expected to be put into operation in January next year, as Barcelona has already sold these boxes for financing. The third-floor stand is expected to be gradually opened to use as next season is approaching the end of next season, and the capacity of the Camp Nou stadium will be close to 90,000 people.

As the giant underground parking lot built in Lateral has not yet been completed, there are currently only about 300 parking spaces outside the Camp Nou Stadium, which can only be used for the most basic operational services and is not open to ordinary fan members. Therefore, there is currently a temporary footbridge near Camp Nou so that fans can walk to the stadium from other parking lots in the early stages of their operation. Currently, within 1.5 kilometers of Camp Nou, there are 8,000 underground parking spaces and 1,500 roadside parking spaces, while the Southern University District can accommodate 3,000 motorcycles. In addition, on game days, 2,000 temporary motorcycle parking spaces can be added to the open space near Bederrida Park. The museums and shops supporting Camp Nou are expected to be put into use within 6 months. The new museum will have an entrance from the second floor of the stadium stand. The architectural style is similar to the Louvre and the top is glass designed, allowing you to see the interior design from the outside. The dome project at Camp Nou has 48,000 square meters, including 21,000 solar panels, but is expected to be completed in 2027, as the renovation of the third floor stands will be completed first. So until then, all other seats at Camp Nou were open-air except for the last row of seats on the first floor that would be blocked by the second floor.

In addition, there are some supporting venues near Camp Nou, which are also being steadily promoted. It includes a small stadium, a new hockey track, a bus stop, and three buildings for the club headquarters, offices, and hotels. There is also a multi-functional comprehensive gymnasium that can accommodate 15,000 spectators (mainly used for basketball, handball, futsal football, hockey, etc.), but it is expected to be completed by 2028. Before Christmas this year, the Barcelona club plans to build a temporary hockey stadium near the University District of Barcelona, ​​allowing the club's hockey team to resume the game after a year's offseason.
