Barcelona launches memorial space in Camp Nou ahead of renovation

Barcelona has, as part of the renovation of the Camp Nou, launched a Memorial space that can accommodate 26 000 urns. Fans who want to have their ashes placed there can choose a ten‑year term for €2 490 or a half‑century for €6 000 with the club.

The urns give supporters the possibility to stay close to their favourite players even after their death. For the annual maintenance costs, the deceased fans pay €70.

The work on the special space will start at the end of 2027. More than a thousand fans have already reserved a spot.

With the proceeds, Barcelona hopes to be able to fund the renovation, which is heading towards €2 billion. The announcement appeared in the section ‘In de Kantlijn’ of VI.nl, where readers can often check on Google.

In that section, among other things, odd, fun or striking quotes, huge blunders and brilliant goals are collected. Thus Barcelona offers fans a unique way to show their connection, while the club receives crucial financial support.
