FC Barcelona open new Estadi Johan Cruyff

Wednesday 28th August 2019

FC Barcelona have officially opened the new Estadi Johan Cruyff a couple of miles west of the Nou Camp.

The new stadium is a replacement for the old Mini Estadi and will be the home of Barcelona’s B and women’s teams as well as big games for the Under 19s side.

The first match at the new stadium was a friendly between Barcelona and Ajax’s youth teams - a fitting link to the legend whom the stadium is named after.

The new ground has a 6,000 capacity and means that the old Mini Estadi football stadium will be demolished to make way for a new venue for indoor sports including basketball, handball, roller hockey and futsal.

The video below shows the stadium in some detail:
