"Even as FC Barcelona wait to return to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou, the stadium is already being presented as an option to host big events in the future. As has already been reported, the stadium is under consideration for the 2030 FIFA World Cup final. Now, the Camp Nou appears to be in contention to host another huge blockbuster match."
"Indeed, UEFA has confirmed that Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou is one of the options to host the 2029 Champions League final, along with the iconic Wembley Stadium in England. Following the passing of the deadline for submitting bids, Spain and England have emerged as direct competitors to host the biggest game in European club football in 2029. Wembley, without a doubt, is one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, with a rich history, tradition, and equipped with modern infrastructure."
"The renovated Spotify Camp Nou will come with an increased capacity and state-of-the-art facilities, which will further enhance its status as one of the most special football stadiums. Wembley has hosted UCL finals in 1962/63, 1967/68, 1970/71, 1977/78, 1991/92, 2010/11 - both occasions when Barcelona won, and most recently in 2023/24 when Real Madrid lifted the trophy. As for Camp Nou, it has been home to the CL finals twice in the past."
UEFA has confirmed that Spotify Camp Nou and Wembley Stadium have expressed interest in hosting the 2029 Champions League final, with bids from Spain and England submitted after the deadline. Camp Nou is also under consideration for the 2030 FIFA World Cup final. Camp Nou will reopen after more than two years away for renovation, offering increased capacity and state-of-the-art facilities. Wembley has hosted multiple UCL finals across decades, including occasions Barcelona won and the 2023/24 final won by Real Madrid. Camp Nou previously hosted finals in 1988/89 and 1998/99, including the historic 1998/99 Manchester United victory.
