How many Barcelona fans will attend the refurbished Spotify Camp Nou’s first fixture? | OneFootball

An insight into the kind of crowd expected to be in attendance at the first fixture held by La Liga champions Barcelona at the club’s refurbished ground has this week been forthcoming online.

With the new Spanish season now officially underway, construction works at the Spotify Camp Nou have been kicked up a notch over recent weeks.

This comes amid hopes of the stadium being available for use for Barcelona’s home meeting with Valencia on September 14th.

As much has not yet been made official, but Joan Laporta and co. are pushing hard for the renovations to be completed within the next couple of weeks.

As alluded to above, an insight into as much has today been provided.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘In the first phase of reopening, approximately 27,000 fans are expected to be able to enter.’
