Insane FC Barcelona launches Memorial to raise millions

FC Barcelona wants to give the ashes of up to 26,000 supporters a permanent place in Camp Nou. The club presented on Tuesday the Memorial FC Barcelona, which besides the ash seats also provides space for 9,000 commemorative plaques. The initiative offers a unique remembrance experience for fans.

Price options and commemorative plaques

According to Cadena SER, a spot for an urn costs from €2,490 for a term of ten years. For a term of 25 years the price is €4,990 and for fifty years €5,990, while a commemorative plaque costs €490.

The first phase of the Memorial is set to open at the end of 2027, reports La Vanguardia.

Architect Quique Montoya said at the presentation: “Thus we increase the capacity with 26,000 supporters who will cheer the team in spirit”.

The urns will be placed behind murals that depict historic moments from the club’s history.

Vice-chair Elena Fort emphasized that Barça consists of its people, of tears and embraces of parents and children who together experience joy and disappointment, and described the Memorial as ‘a place to pause for those who are no longer here’.

Fort said that her grandmother, who died years ago, wanted to be buried next to the stadium so she could hear Barça’s goals from her resting place, a wish she shares with many supporters.

Initiator Santi Bach added that they want to preserve the legacy of people who have given Barça a place in their lives and keep the memories alive for future generations.

Former captain Tente Sánchez wants his final resting place in what he calls ‘home’: Camp Nou.

Advisor Ramon Artigas joked that the Memorial is one of the few places where you can ‘guarantee that your neighbour is not a Real Madrid supporter’.
