Iconic football stadium looks unrecognisable with new colour scheme and huge roof in never-before-seen footage
THE NOU Camp looks unrecognisable during its BILLION-POUND renovation, which is set to leave it with a new colour scheme.
The home of Spanish footie giants Barcelona has been undergoing a major revamp for the last ten months to bring it into the 21st century.
The club are spending a whopping £1.3billion to modernise and increase the capacity of the famous ground to a staggering 105,000 fans.
The Catalans have begun circulating images and video footage of the ongoing renovations on their social media channels.
And one computer-generated clip of the finished product showed the ground with a completely new colour scheme.
The newly-released video showed the brand-spanking-new three-tiered Nou Camp in what will be all of its glory.
The seats will comprise of a blend of garnet brown and blue, with the former making up most of the bottom tier before blending into the latter.
The club’s iconic logo will remain thanks to a sprinkling of yellow seats stretching midway up the first tier and to the top.
More yellow seating will make up the logo of the club’s sponsor, Spotify, as well as the “FC Barcelona” lettering.
The footage paints an incredible picture of what the Nou Camp will look like once it’s finished.

Barca chiefs are hoping it’ll be “an architectural benchmark for the city and for the world”.
The current state of the stadium, however, has some footie fans concerned it won’t be finished in time for the team’s proposed November return.
But Vice President Elena Fort dismissed those concerns last year, insisting: “We still have a long way to go, but we are well underway.”
She added: “In November 2024 we will return to Spotify Camp Nou with an approximate capacity of 65,000 spectators between the first and second tiers.
“With 50% of the VIP capacity and the definitive museum open.
“The bulk of all the work will be carried out in 2024, including the core main structure and the roof.”
A recent excerpt of a club statement on the renovation read: “The work on the future stadium remains on schedule.
“And the slabs at ground level for members and fans to walk into the FC Barcelona temple will soon start to be put into place.
“At the same time, the repairs to the first and second tiers are progressing at a good pace, with over 70% of repairs on the current structure completed, and the inner partition walls already starting to be built.”
