Final Resting Place at Camp Nou

Barcelona fans will soon have the chance to remain connected to their team long after they pass away. Starting in 2027, the Spanish club will offer space at Camp Nou for fans to store ashes or display commemorative plaques.

This offer is part of the ongoing renovation work at the stadium. The club plans to build a 1,500 square meter Memorial space inside the venue. This area will feature 26,000 individual niches for ashes, along with walls for memorial plaques.

Pricing and Access Details

The opportunity is not restricted to local members. Fans from anywhere in the world can purchase a space, as club membership is not required. The club is offering concessions that last for 10, 25, or 50 year terms.

Pricing for a spot in the columbarium starts at €2,490, which is about $2,762, for a 10 year concession. If supporters prefer a 50 year concession, the cost rises to €5,990, or $6,644. Buyers must also pay an annual maintenance fee of €70.

Fans looking for a lower cost option can choose a plaque instead. A standard 10 year plaque is priced at €490. A premium 50 year plaque costs €1,040.

Design Features and Project Schedule

Architect Quique Montoya designed the planned Memorial area. The layout will mix fine materials with warm lighting and a modern style. It will feature large murals depicting memorable moments from the history of the club, alongside visual, audio, and audiovisual installations.

Construction work will happen in two separate phases. The entire project is scheduled for completion in mid 2028.

Interest from Fans and Former Players

The announcement has already created strong interest among supporters and people connected to the team. The club noted that many fans and members have asked about the memorial since the plans were first revealed.

Former players and relatives of historic figures at the club have also expressed a desire to be part of the space. In a club statement, officials explained that the project gives supporters worldwide two distinct ways to pay tribute to loved ones directly inside the stadium.
