Spanish giants Barcelona have shared brand new photos of their redesigned Nou Camp stadium as they announced their plans to move back before the end of the season.
After winning the LaLiga title in June 2023, the Catalan giants began work on their world-famous stadium as part of a £1.25 billion renovation project to increase capacity to 105,000.
Since then, they have played their matches at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys while eyeing a possible return to Camp Nou for the club’s 125th anniversary on November 29.
However, a statement from the club has confirmed that the move-in date will be postponed as they now target a return in the second half of the season.
Barcelona vice-president Elena Fort said: ‘There are no exact dates for returning to the stadium. We can’t say that yet, but we are on the right track.
