Barcelona have confirmed that they will be away from Camp Nou for over three years. They expect the new Spotify Stadium to take time as the new-look needs a lot of work.
Joan Laporta spoke about the need for the new stadium and stated on the club's official website:
“Since the opening of Spotify Camp Nou in 1957 it has been our home and a source of pride for all Barça fans and we want it to stay that way. The new Spotify Camp Nou will become a reality, a collective dream for all Barça fans and at the same time it will be a legacy for our children and grandchildren.”
He added:
“Now we have to go through a process, the construction process, and we must be excited about that. When we come back here, we will be stronger than ever. It will coincide with our Club’s 125th anniversary, at the end of 2024, when the stadium will be ready for us to get what we want from it.”
Barcelona won the league this season, and bid farewell to the stadium on Sunday. The work has already begun as the club do not want to waste time.
