Barcelona to host fans' ashes in new Camp Nou memorial by 2027
Futbol Barcelona will open a 1,500‑square‑metre Memorial FC Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou, allowing supporters to place their ashes in a dedicated area, with the facility scheduled to be ready by the end of 2027 as part of the club’s effort to honour its most devoted fans.
Presentation and location
The memorial, named Memorial FC Barcelona, was unveiled on Tuesday at an event in the Auditori 1899, where vice‑president Elena Fort, programme ideologue Santi Bach, architect Quique Montoya and consultant Ramon Artigas presented the plans. The project aims to give fans a permanent place of remembrance within the stadium complex.
It will be situated in the immediate vicinity of the Camp Nou with permanent street access, and on match days gate 35 will open from inside the stadium to reach the site. The access arrangement is intended to integrate the memorial seamlessly into the match‑day experience.
Design and commercial details
The architectural concept resembles a shoe, incorporates a screen that will display a blue‑and‑grana flag and features verses from the Barcelona anthem on its walls. These features are designed to reflect the club’s colours and heritage.
Barcelona, the current LaLiga champion, is allocating the 1,500 square‑metre area to commemorate supporters who have passed away. The allocation underscores the club’s commitment to its supporter community.
Columbarium contracts start at €2,490 for ten years, €4,990 for twenty‑five years and €5,990 for fifty years, with a €500 reservation fee deducted from the final price. The pricing structure provides long‑term options for families wishing to secure a final resting place.
Additional charges include €70 for maintenance and €1,800 for entry to the Community Area that will be shared after the concession ends, while urns are offered at €180 plus management. These fees cover ongoing upkeep and the use of shared facilities after the lease period.
Commemorative plaques bearing the deceased’s name cost €490 for ten years, €890 for twenty‑five years and €990 for fifty years. The plaques offer a personalised tribute that can be displayed within the memorial area.
Supporters may also pay €50 for a premium location or €100 to be placed beside a club legend, with the service covering the inscription of name, message and date. Both upgrades are optional and can be combined with the basic columbarium purchase.
