Spotify Camp Nou wants it all

Barcelona's Camp Nou has been confirmed as host of the 2029 men's Champions League final and is bidding to host the 2030 World Cup final and 2031 women's Champions League final.

Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou has secured the 2029 men's Champions League final after UEFA's official designation on 15 September. The stadium is now pursuing two additional major tournaments: the 2030 FIFA World Cup final and the 2031 women's Champions League final.

Spanish Football Federation president Rafael Louzán backed the World Cup bid during a visit to Barcelona, saying there are "possibilities" for the tournament to be held at Camp Nou in 2030. Barcelona is preparing a formal candidacy for the women's Champions League final in conjunction with the Catalan regional government and Barcelona city council.

The club's track record in women's football supports the bids. Barcelona holds the three highest attendance records for women's football matches globally, including 91,648 spectators for a 2022 Champions League match against Wolfsburg. The 2024 women's Champions League final in Bilbao drew 50,827 fans, with over 40,000 Barcelona supporters travelling. Once renovation work completes, Camp Nou will have a capacity of approximately 105,000, making it Europe's largest stadium.
