"Saturday is a big day for Barcelona as they gear up for the much-awaited return to Spotify Camp Nou after two and a half years. While Barcelona will be focused on securing a victory against Athletic Club, the club have also invited some star players of the past to mark the return to the iconic stadium. Moreover, Barcelona have planned some musical performances to celebrate the grand occasion, with bands like Figa Flawas, The Tyets and singer Cor Jove del Orfeó Català expected to perform."
"Heading into this game, it was suggested by many that Barcelona legend Ronaldinho could be the one to be bestowed with the honour, as he is not an active player and had built a lasting legacy at Camp Nou. However, journalist Dani Gil has now clarified that Ronaldinho won't be attending tomorrow's Camp Nou re-opening, and thus, will not be the guest taking the special honorary kick-off at the new Camp Nou."
"While Barcelona had sent him an invitation, Ronaldinho will be represented by his brother, Roberto, at the event. While this is certainly a blow for Barcelona fans, the club have plans to make the moment special, and there will presumably be other marquee guests attending the event, including former players. However, it must be noted that this event is not political and marks an important stage for Barcelona, as they look to eventually turn Camp Nou into the most state-of-the-art stadium in world football."

Bands such as Figa Flawas, The Tyets and singer Cor Jove del Orfeó Català are scheduled to perform. The club invited past star players to attend as marquee guests. Many expected Ronaldinho to take the honorary kick-off because of his lasting legacy, but he will not attend because he is in Brazil. Ronaldinho will be represented at the event by his brother Roberto. The club stresses the event is not political and aims to continue upgrading Camp Nou into a state-of-the-art stadium.
