"In an official statement, FC Barcelona have announced their intention to enter the bidding for the hosting rights of the 2029 UEFA Champions League final at the Spotify Camp Nou. The Blaugrana, with support from the Barcelona City Council and the Government of Catalonia, intend for their renovated home stadium to be the venue for the 2029 Champions League final. "The Club and the institutions involved have submitted the initial documentation required to move forward with the procedure and allow UEFA to assess the suitability of the application, in accordance with established protocols," a part of the statement read."
"Barcelona carried out a complete renovation of the Spotify Camp Nou over the past two years and only returned to their home stadium in November 2025. There has been a gradual increase in the venue capacity since, with the aim to open up the stadium for 62,000 fans by next month. The completion of the entire renovation is targeted for later this year, following which the stadium will be equipped to accommodate around 105,000 fans."
"Camp Nou has been home to the Champions League finals twice in the past - in the 1988/89 season and ten years later in 1998/99, when Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in one of the most historic finale events. Along with Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou, the iconic Wembley Stadium in London is also in contention to host the 2029 Champions League final."
FC Barcelona, backed by Barcelona City Council and the Government of Catalonia, have submitted initial documentation to bid for the 2029 UEFA Champions League final at the Spotify Camp Nou. The club will formalise the candidacy and deliver the complete dossier in early June 2026. The stadium underwent a full renovation and reopened in November 2025, with capacity expanding to 62,000 by next month and a final target of about 105,000 after completion later this year. Camp Nou previously hosted finals in 1988/89 and 1998/99. Wembley Stadium is also a candidate for the 2029 final.
