Barcelona launch Memorial FC Barcelona project at Spotify Camp Nou

Barcelona have launched the Memorial FC Barcelona project, giving supporters the opportunity to preserve their memories and connection with the club inside Spotify Camp Nou.

The memorial space covers 1,500 square metres and is located just a few metres from the stadium pitch.

Supporters will have two ways to create a permanent tribute. They can place the ashes of a loved one in specially designated urn compartments, or have a name and personal message engraved on memorial plaques within the stadium.

The plaques can be dedicated to supporters during their lifetime or used to commemorate someone who has died. Barcelona said the project is intended to preserve the memories of its fans as part of the history of the Catalan club.

The urn compartments and memorial plaques will be available through contracts lasting 10, 25 or 50 years.

Each compartment can hold one urn, with the name of the person displayed on its front.

Under 50-year agreements, the ashes can later be transferred to the collective space provided for that purpose within the project.
