CAMP NOU

The Camp Nou is a football stadium in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain which has been the home of Football Club Barcelona since 1957. With a seating capacity of 99,354  Camp Nou is the largest stadium in Europe and the 4th largest association football stadium in the world in terms of capacity. The construction of Camp Nou started on 28 March 1954 as Barcelona's previous stadium, Camp de Les Corts, had no room for expansion. Although originally planned to be called Estadi del FC Barcelona, the more popular name Camp Nou was used. The June 1950 signing of László Kubala, regarded as one of Barcelona's greatest players, provided further impetus to the construction of a larger stadium. Construction of Camp Nou began on 28 March 1954 before a crowd of 60,000 Barça fans and the stadium officially opened on 24 September 1957. Now the camp has grown more and more popular because of the team that it host FC Barcelona.
