JAKARTA - The latest appearance of the legendary Barcelona home stadium, Camp Nou, has been released by the club. The public is paving with a stadium that has been renovated for 1.25 billion pounds.

Barca have been temporarily stationed at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium during the renovation of Camp Nou.

As is known, the Blaugrana moved from the stadium in May 2023 to begin a massive reshuffle process.

The 67-year-old arena has undergone major changes for more than a year.

Camp Nou looks different from its original shape in computer clones released by the club.

The stadium will have the largest roof in Europe, a platform to watch from the air, and a number of new bars and VIP areas.

Meanwhile, the stadium capacity was also increased from 99,354 to 105,000 seats.

The club has dismantled the entire top of the stadium as they rebuild the third section to increase the capacity of the iconic stadium.

Now, Barcelona are getting closer to returning to their historic home after releasing new pictures of Camp Nou.

Barcelona's vice president, Elena Fort, has revealed that the club intends to return to Camp Nou this season.

However, they have scrapped plans to return to Camp Nou before the club's 125th anniversary in November 2024.

"There is no definite date to return to Camp Nou. We can't say it now, but we are on the right track."

"The City Council is aware of our full plan. We are following all safety protocols and we have received the green light from several agencies."

"Now we have to work quickly to regain the license to reopen the stadium and implement everything," Elena Fort said as reported by The Sun.

If the plan to return to the Nou Camp this season is realized, Barcelona is expected to play in front of 60 percent capacity at that time. You see, renovations are likely only completed in 2026.

Meanwhile, the main part of the stadium is modernized, such as having three large screens hanging on the pitch so that fans can rewatch the action.

Then, meeting rooms and press facilities are among other areas to be modernized.

The stadium will also reportedly use green energy sources through a solar panel covering an area of 18,000 square meters, which produces its own energy and produces zero carbon emissions.

Lastly, the new image shows an incredible light display on the outside of the field, which emits Barcelona's famous colors.
