Barça Set to Play First Game at Upgraded Camp Nou on Saturday

Attendance will be limited with 45,401 fans will be allowed to watch under the licence granted. After final construction, the Camp Nou is due to hold close to 105,000 fans, increasing from the former 99,000. Barça announced finished work included a renovated tunnel for players along with upgraded changing facilities.
