Camp Nou

Camp Nou

The Camp Nou has hosted FC Barcelona’s first team matches since September 1957.
Barça’s new stadium replaced the old Les Corts stadium, which, although it had a capacity of 48,000 spectators (after several extensions), became too small following the massive increase in numbers of the team’s fans in the late 1940s.
In April 2001, the name Camp Nou was made official following a poll among the club’s members. Out of the 29,102 respondents, who voted by mail, a total of 19,861 (68.25%) chose Camp Nou over FC Barcelona Stadium.
The stadium has a maximum height of 49.67 metres and a surface area of 58,760 square metres (260 metres long and 226 metres wide). In accordance with UEFA regulations, the pitch is 105 m x 68 m.
With a capacity of 99,354 people, it is currently the largest stadium in Europe. The capacity of the stadium, however, has undergone several changes, due to the various expansions that were made. Initially, in 1957, it held 99,053 spectators, a figure that rose to 115,000 in 1982, coinciding with the FIFA World World Cup that was held in Spain. Subsequently, in the late 1990s, the capacity was brought back to the 99,000 mark in application of the regulations that made it compulsory to eliminate non-seated places.
During the 1998/99 season, UEFA recognised the services and functionality of the Camp Nou and classified it as a Five Star stadium. In 2010, with the new UEFA regulations, this category was replaced by Category 4, which corresponds to stadiums that meet the highest standards in terms of facilities, services and capacity, as is the case of FC Barcelona’s stadium.
