Camp Nou (sometimes English is changed to Nou Camp Stadium, which was previously transliterated as Campano Stadium. Although the name of the stadium is Camp Nou Stadium, the official name of the stadium is Barcelona Club-Estadi Delfutbol Club Barcelona/FC Barcelona Stadium), which is a Catalan-interpreted new stadium, located in Barcelona, Spain, and belongs to the home of La Liga team Barcelona. Nou Camp Stadium is the largest stadium in the whole European continent, with a seating capacity of 98,. In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, the seating capacity of the stadium increased to 12,. It is also the second largest stadium in the world, second only to the legendary Maracana Stadium in Brazil. At present, modern general equipment makes it the best football venue in Europe. In the 1998-99 season, the European Football Association awarded it the title of "five-star" stadium.
The construction of Campano Stadium, Barcelona's home stadium, originated from the self-respecting supporters of Barcelona, who designed the stadium not only for its absolute size, but also for its architecture. Barcelona includes every part of it, and Barcelona Football Club Stadium is one of the many reasons why Barcelona Football Club is so famous. Since the Nou Camp was put into use, it has been developing every day to meet the needs of the times. In the past few decades, Camp Nou has repeatedly updated the site configuration and environment, and more and more hardware facilities have been built and equipped with new high-tech facilities. Recently, in order to comply with the rules of FIFA, the capacity of the stadium has been reduced, and the area around the grass has been reduced by three meters. At the same time, the flat roof of the stands has been removed.
[ Edit this paragraph] History of the Stadium
Before the Camp Nou Stadium was built, the cathedral stadium used in Barcelona could only accommodate 6, people. At that time, the club thought that the stadium was not enough. When kubala joined Barcelona, the old cathedral stadium seemed too small, so he decided to buy a large piece of land near the stadium to build a new stadium. However, in the early days of preparation, there was a dispute over the site selection of Barcelona. After the new president Merosans took office, construction finally started in 1954, and it was named Camp Nou Stadium, which was officially opened on September 24, 1957. The dream of Barcelona people has finally come true.
Background stage (1948 -1954)
The proposal to build a new stadium for Barcelona was first put forward in 1948. Later, when Hungarian superstar kubala joined Barcelona in June 195, the opinions in this respect became stronger and stronger. After all, the old stadium in Barcelona, the Cathedral Stadium, was too small. The Cathedral Stadium was established in 1922. After several expansions, the maximum audience capacity was 6, at that time. However, due to its age, this old stadium can no longer be expanded. So on September 19th, 195. Senior officials of Barcelona, under the auspices of Mr. Garbert, bought a piece of land near Neuntoter, martel, which is also very close to the Cathedral Stadium.
Then there was a period of trouble. When the new stadium construction team suddenly decided to change the address of the new stadium on February 9, 1951, they chose a piece of land at the top of De Haguenau. Subsequently, the construction team and Barcelona executives began arduous negotiations and no agreement has been reached. The plan was subsequently aborted until Mr. Francisco Miro Sans was elected President of Barcelona on November 14th, 1953. The new chairman is a staunch supporter of building a new stadium. He believes that the construction of the new stadium should be continued immediately. On February 18th, 1954, Mirosans announced that the new stadium in Barcelona would be built on the land bought by the top management of Barcelona in 195. On March 28th, in front of 6, Barcelona fans, Mr. Mirosans laid the first stone for the Camp Nou Stadium accompanied by Catalonia President Gorona, and was blessed by Cardinal Modrego of Barcelona.
Construction stage (1954 -1957)
The construction of the new stadium was entrusted to the cooperation of Mr. Francisco Mityans Miro, cousin of Barcelona President Mr. Mirosans, Mr. Iosep Soteras Mauri and Mr. Lorenzo Garcí a Barbon. More than a year later, on July 11, 1955, the club cooperated with ingar sa Company on the construction of the stadium, which invested 66.62 million pesetas to build the Camp Nou stadium within 18 months. However, in fact, the money spent on the new stadium is far higher than the budget, reaching 288 million pesetas. Fortunately, the top management of Barcelona got an investment of 1 million pesetas and a loan of 6 million pesetas from the bank in time, so that the project can be continued in time. Barcelona can pay off these loans within a few years after the stadium is completed.
put into use (1957-present)
On September 24th, 1957, the Nou Camp, the new home of Barcelona, was officially announced to be put into use. The stadium construction committee decided to hold a special celebration ceremony, which was planned by Mr. Alex Bowser Reyes and Mr. Nicolas Casos. On September 21st, in the conference room of Barcelona, Yue Se Maria de Cacio, a member of the Royal Spanish Society, announced the process of the official ceremony to celebrate the completion of the new stadium. On that weekend, representatives of various clubs gathered at the Cathedral Stadium to attend the international sports conference. These important events were enough to inspire Mr. Iosep M. de Sagarra to write a word for the groundbreaking ceremony of the new stadium in Barcelona, and Adolphe Caberne set the music for the word.
It happened to be Messer's Day, and all the citizens of Barcelona were dressed up in the colors of Barcelona Club. The opening ceremony began at the mass, presided over by Cardinal Modrego of Barcelona, and the audience was very solemn. Later, the choir sang Hallelujah, and many high-level officials from political circles and sports circles sat down with Barcelona President Mirosans on the rostrum.
At this time, the Nou Camp stand was not completely completed. But it can accommodate more than 9 people. All Catalan sports clubs took part in the parade. Then the theme song of the ceremony was played. At 4: 3 pm, Barcelona Football Club played a friendly match with a team in Warsaw, Poland. Barcelona's starting lineup is as follows: Lamb Lai Ci, Oliveira, Brugge, Segara, Willges, Gensana, Basola, Villawed, Martinez, kubala and Tejada. In the second half, Barcelona's lineup was: Lamb Lai Ci, Brugge, Segara, Gracia, Frota, Bosh, Helmos, RiBaerreis, Tejada, Sampedro and evaristo. Finally, Barcelona won 4-2, and Martinez scored the first goal in the history of Camp Nou for Barcelona. Tejada, Sampedro and evaristo also scored. During the intermission, 1,5 Barcelona Dance Art Troupe performed the traditional Catalan dance Sadana, and 1, free rice with minced meat (local food in Barcelona) were provided to the fans.

[ edit this paragraph] 35 million reconstruction of Camp Nou Stadium
Barcelona will adjust the seating structure of the stands and add 15, seats, and the stadium access and some facilities will be adjusted, adding more high-tech facilities, and even adding transparent roofs. The total cost will be as high as 35 million euros, of which the internal renovation of the stadium will cost about 2 million euros (18 million euros was spent on the renovation of the Bernabeu stadium a few years ago) and the external renovation will cost 15 million euros. Barcelona hopes to transform all the blocks around the Camp Nou stadium into the same style, so that the area where the Camp Nou stadium is located will become a high-end tourist area integrating architecture and sports, attracting more fans from all over the world.
When the club first put forward this plan, many people thought it was impossible, because it was almost impossible for Barcelona to raise so much money in a short time. However, a month later, things made great progress, because Barcelona found a solution to the funding problem: transforming the Miniestadi beside the Camp Nou stadium into real estate and selling it, so that Barcelona could raise enough funds.
laporta, President of Barcelona, signed a cooperation agreement with the Catalan Construction Industry Association, and the Construction Industry Association will select architects from now on. This large-scale renovation plan named "Nou Camp Nou" has just begun. Barcelona's plan to dismantle the small stadium coincides with Barcelona's urban planning.
It is reported that after the demolition of the small stadium, Barcelona will have 1, to 12, square meters of land for the construction of real estate. After the completion of the whole plan, Barcelona's income will reach 35 million euros. In addition, Barcelona will sell one-third of the land of a farm called Can Rigalt near Ospitalette in exchange for an income of about 5 million euros. A total of * * * 4 million euros can be used to renovate the Camp Nou stadium and transform the basketball hall of the club. Laporta hopes that the whole project will be completed as soon as possible, with a view to transforming Camp Nou into "the most modern stadium in the world" as soon as possible.
When superstar kubala joined Barcelona, the old cathedral stadium seemed too small, so it became inevitable to build a new stadium for Barcelona. From the proposal to the Nou Camp put into use on September 24, 1957, Barcelona Club had a hard time, but the dream of Barcelona people finally became a reality. Now, with Ronaldinho, Messi and Eto 'o attracting more and more fans to watch the game-by the end of last year, the number of members of Barcelona Club had exceeded 152,, ranking first in the world, and this number is still increasing at a rate of nearly 5 people every day, the Nou Camp has once again become somewhat narrow in the eyes of fans. Therefore, a new plan of Barcelona has been put forward: it will be built in Camp Nou for 5 weeks.
