Eternal rest at Spotify Camp Nou now possible

Barcelona has opened a memorial space at Camp Nou where fans and former players can be laid to rest, with 26,600 columbaria set to open in 2027.

Barcelona has unveiled plans for the Espai Memorial del Spotify Camp Nou, a memorial space within the stadium where supporters and club figures can be interred. The facility will feature 26,600 columbaria, 9,000 individual commemorative plaques, 50,000 community urns, and a digital columbarium, with an opening date set for 2027.

Former Barcelona captain José Vicente 'Tente' Sánchez has already reserved a spot and chosen the inscription "Estoy en casa" (I'm at home) for his columbarium. Sánchez and legendary figure Carles Rexach attended the presentation at Auditori 1899 on Tuesday. The space will be located on level 20 of the Gol Norte, accessible via Gate 35, close to La Masia and metres from the pitch.

Prices for columbaria range from €3,000 to €6,000 depending on the length of concession (initially 25 or 50 years), with community urns at €1,500 and commemorative plaques at €500. Barcelona vice-president Elena Fort presented the project, recalling her grandmother's wish to rest near the stadium where she could hear the club's goals.
