The stadium that kept growing

Camp Nou (Catalan for 'New Field'), officially Spotify Camp Nou for sponsorship reasons, is a stadium in Barcelona and the home of FC Barcelona since 1957. It is currently undergoing renovation, increasing its seating capacity to 105,000 - placing it among the world's largest stadiums. When it opened in 1957, it had a seating capacity of 106,146. After its expansion in 1982, the seating capacity grew to 71,731, while the total capacity including standing room reached 121,401. With the current renovation, it will retain its position as the largest stadium in Spain and Europe, while becoming the fifth-largest overall stadium in the world.

Camp Nou has a rich history, serving as the venue for two European Cup/Champions League finals in 1989 and 1999, two European Cup Winners' Cup finals, four Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final games, five UEFA Super Cup games, four Copa del Rey finals, two Copa de la Liga finals, and twenty-one Supercopa de España finals. It also hosted five matches in the 1982 FIFA World Cup (including the opening game) and half of the four matches at the 1964 European Nations' Cup.

The stadium had no official name when it opened in 1957 and was referred to as Estadio del Club de Fútbol Barcelona. In 1973, the official name was changed to the Catalan Estadi del Futbol Club Barcelona. In July 2022, the club sold the naming rights to Spotify, and the stadium became Spotify Camp Nou.
