Barcelona Fans Flock to Nou Camp After 894-Day Hiatus

On November 7, 2025, Barcelona's iconic Nou Camp stadium welcomed back its fans for the first time in nearly 894 days. The stadium, which has been undergoing a £1.25 billion renovation since 2023, opened its doors to 23,000 eager supporters who attended an open training session.

The last time Barcelona fans sat in the Nou Camp stands was in May 2023, when they celebrated a domestic double-winning season. In the intervening period, the club has seen significant changes, including the departure of rising star Ansu Fati and the arrival of new hope, Lamine Yamal.

Despite the ongoing construction work, which has been plagued by numerous delays, the fans' excitement to return to their beloved stadium was palpable. Many were seen adorning Yamal merchandise and basking in the sun as they took their seats in the Main Stand and Gol Sud areas.
