- Drone footage shows Camp Nou building site
- Club currently playing home games elsewhere
- Project set for completion in 2025-26
WHAT HAPPENED? Drone footage shared by the club shows Barca's iconic home reduced to a skeleton as part of the major redevelopment project to renovate and improve the 66-year-old stadium.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Barcelona have temporarily left Camp Nou, instead playing home games this season at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, centrepiece of the 1992 Olympic Games in the city. The club is expected to move back to Camp Nou next season at 50% capacity, before the work is fully finished. The project is currently set for completion during the 2025-26 campaign. In April 2023, Barcelona announced a financing agreement to pay for the wider Espai Barca redevelopment project with 20 investors worth €1.45 billion ($1.53bn).
WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA? The Catalans continue their season with consecutive away games against Real Sociedad and Shakhtar Donetsk in La Liga and the Champions League respectively - the latter is to be played on neutral ground in Hamburg owing to the continuing war in Ukraine.
