Emergency action after the accident from Laporta

The future of the project
It’s worth noting that Spotify’s massive Camp Nou stadium renovations these months have focused on a “compression ring” designed to support the roof of the new stadium.
The management of Barcelona hopes to overcome this phase, complete the project and bring the stadium to its new and finished look by the end of 2027.
