Barcelona Announces Construction of New 20,000-Capacity Indoor Arena

State-of-the-art facility to host a wide range of events

Construction to commence in 2024, completion expected by 2027

FC Barcelona has unveiled plans to build a new 20,000-capacity indoor arena across from its iconic Camp Nou football stadium. The arena, which will be the largest of its kind in Spain, is scheduled to open in 2027 and will host a wide range of events, including basketball, handball, concerts, and esports competitions.

The arena will be a key component of Barcelona's ambitious "Espai Barça" project, which aims to modernize and expand the club's facilities. The project also includes the renovation of the Camp Nou stadium and the construction of a new sports complex for the club's youth teams.

The new arena is expected to cost approximately €200 million to build and will be funded by a mix of private investment and public funds. The project has been approved by the Barcelona City Council and is expected to receive final approval from the Catalan government in the coming months.

FC Barcelona is one of the most successful sports clubs in the world, with a global fan base of over 300 million people. The club's new arena is expected to attract even more fans to Barcelona and further boost the city's tourism industry.
