A 54-year-old worker died on Friday, July 24, 2026, after being struck while working on the renovation of the Spotify Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona. This marks the first fatal workplace accident since the extensive renovation project began in June 2023. The Mossos d’Esquadra received the alert around 3:30 PM and dispatched units, including the Investigation Unit and the Medical Emergency System (SEM), but the worker could not be saved. The renovation, which involves thousands of workers, recently completed the structure of the new third tier and is now focusing on a compression ring to support the roof. The accident has been reported to the duty investigating court and the department of Business and Labor per standard protocols.
