FC Barcelona: Spotify Camp Nou third ring opening delayed to 2027, needs ~€400M refinancing

Published Jul 29, 03:36 PM UTC

FC Barcelona faces a new delay in the Spotify Camp Nou renovation, with the opening of the third amphitheater ring postponed from the start of the season to at least the first quarter of 2027, causing a loss in anticipated ticket and season ticket revenue. The board of directors, chaired by vice president Rafa Yuste due to Joan Laporta's health absence, discussed the need for a refinancing of approximately 400 million euros to complete the works. This requires an extraordinary assembly, which will be combined with the ordinary assembly in September to save costs. On the sporting front, the club is finalizing a friendly match in Tangier, Morocco, on August 15 against a local team, while the women's team will play Manchester City on the same date. The club is also progressing on closing accounts and preparing the budget for the next campaign.
