Spotify Camp Nou has become a talking point in Barcelona circles lately after the club confirmed that the planned return to the stadium has been postponed at least until mid-February.
Many reports suggest the February La Liga clash against Alaves could be the first game held at a revamped Camp Nou.
But Barcelona move back to their old stadium, Diario AS has offered crucial updates on the stadium’s renovation works and how things are shaping up.
The monumental renovation of FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou is moving forward rapidly, with work costing an estimated €1 million per day and employing a workforce of approximately 1,800 workers.
The extensive project aims to transform the iconic stadium into a modern marvel while maintaining its historical essence.
Currently, the third-tier structure is under construction, while the blue and crimson seats have already been installed in the first and second tiers. Remarkably, around 800 seats are being installed daily.

Barcelona hope to play their first match at the remodelled Camp Nou by early February 2025 against Alaves. However, unforeseen delays could push this date back slightly.
Upon reopening, the stadium will have 62,000 operational seats, accompanied by essential facilities such as new lighting, fully equipped bathrooms, catering services, and 200 parking spaces—a figure set to expand to 4,000 spaces by the project’s conclusion.
Further enhancements, including the completion of the third tier and the installation of the stadium’s 50,000-square-meter roof, are expected by summer 2026.
Escalators and 30 elevators will improve accessibility, while a double VIP loop between the second and third stands will offer an exclusive experience with a capacity of approximately 7,500 seats.
A pedestrian-friendly street full of amenities will also enhance the surrounding area.
