Verified Timeline

In Their Own Story

The Camp Nou opened on 24 September 1957, the feast of La Mercè, with a solemn mass presided over by the archbishop of Barcelona, Gregorio Modrego. Some 90,000 people attended the opening ceremony. The stadium was inspired by De Kuip, home of Feyenoord, built in 1937, featuring oval rings around the pitch. In May 1972, the Camp Nou hosted its first European Cup Winners' Cup final between Rangers and Dynamo Moscow; Rangers won 3–2. The stadium underwent an expansion in 1982 for the FIFA World Cup, adding the third tier and taking the total capacity to 121,401. Barcelona's record attendance was set on 5 March 1986 in the European Cup quarter-final against Juventus, with 120,000 spectators. The Camp Nou hosted the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich; Bayern led 1–0 through Mario Basler's goal in the sixth minute, but United won with injury time goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær. The stadium was renovated in 1993–94, lowering the pitch by 2.5 metres and eliminating standing room for individual seating. During 1998–99, UEFA rated the Camp Nou a five-star stadium. It was not until the 2000–01 season that club members voted to officially rename the stadium from 'Estadi del Barcelona' to its popular nickname, Camp Nou. In 2022, music streaming service Spotify reached a deal with Barcelona to acquire the naming rights for four years, rebranding it as Spotify Camp Nou in July 2022.
