FCBarcelona consolidated the direction of the work on the new CampNou in Istanbul, after a series of high-level meetings with the Turkish construction company Limak, responsible for the SpotifyCampNou project. The meeting took place within the framework of a Champions League match against Galatasaray and was used to advance the final phase of the works and prepare the "Big Lift", the elevation of the roof that will be carried out starting in June and which represents the last great challenge before opening the third stand and inaugurating the stadium in 2028.
President JoanLaporta, together with his management team, met on several occasions with the president and CEO of Limak Holding, EbruÖzdemir, and with other members of the construction company's board of directors. The conversations took place in a cordial and constructive tone, with the common goal of accelerating the completion of the project. In addition, both delegations shared an official dinner and attended the match from the AliSamiYen stadium box, which reinforced the spirit of collaboration between the parties.
Despite the ups and downs that have marked the construction of the new stadium, including economic disagreements and penalty clauses, the bilateral meetings have made it possible to find an adequate harmony to face the final stretch of the works. The Catalan leaders and Limak executives have agreed to work hand in hand until the conclusion of the project, leaving aside the possible contractual disputes that could arise once the relationship ends.
In Istanbul, Barça has reinforced the sporting and institutional foundations of its future stadium, ensuring that the work remains on the right path and that the opening in 2028 is a fact. With the “Big Lift” scheduled for June, the club moves ever closer to the completion of construction, allowing the team and its fans to enjoy a modern, fully functional stadium for years to come.
