The Camp Nou has a rich history of hosting Champions League finals, having previously done so in 1989 and 1999. The stadium's renovation project, Espai Barça, is currently underway and aims to increase the stadium's capacity to around 105,000 seats. The renovation is expected to be completed in 2028, a year before the 2029 Champions League final.
The UEFA's decision to hold the 2029 Champions League final at Camp Nou comes as the stadium undergoes significant changes as part of the Espai Barça project. The project includes changes to the stadium's surroundings and aims to modernize the facility. Despite facing delays, the Barcelona club is expected to complete the renovation on time to host the final match.
The 2029 Champions League final will be held after the completion of the stadium's renovation, which is expected to be finished in 2028. The final will be held at Camp Nou in Barcelona, marking a return to the stadium 30 years after it last hosted the tournament's final match in 1999.
