FC Barcelona Will Open a Fan Columbarium Inside Camp Nou in 2027
FC Barcelona plans a columbarium for fans' ashes at Camp Nou in 2027. Prices depend on 10, 25 or 50-year terms, plus plaques, fees and upkeep.
FC Barcelona will open a funeral space inside the new Camp Nou in 2027 where supporters can have their ashes kept a few metres from the pitch. The club is calling it the “Memorial FC Barcelona”, and it will hold twenty-six thousand individual columbarium niches in the stadium’s north stand, according to Barcelona Secreta.
Places are sold as fixed-term concessions of 10, 25 or 50 years. Barcelona Secreta puts the total for the longest option, once yearly fees are included, at close to ten thousand euros.
What the Camp Nou memorial will include
The site covers fifteen hundred square metres. Besides the urn compartments, it will have a backlit glass wall carrying nine thousand commemorative plaques with supporters’ names. A permanent entrance from the street will give access, so families will not have to wait for a match day to visit.
Prices for a niche and a plaque
The club has published three price levels. Each one has a separate price for the niche and for the plaque on the glass wall:
- 10 years: two thousand four hundred ninety euros for the niche and €490 for the plaque.
- 25 years: four thousand nine hundred ninety euros for the niche and €890 for the plaque.
- 50 years: five thousand nine hundred ninety euros for the niche and €990 for the plaque.
Several costs come on top. Reserving a space costs €500. The urn and its handling add €180, and maintenance is €70 a year.
Extras near club legends and after the term ends
Fans who want their ashes placed next to a former club great pay a €100 supplement. Once a concession runs out, remains can go to the Ara Comunitaria, a shared resting place, for eighteen hundred euros more. That transfer is already included in the 50-year contracts, the outlet reports.
What it means for fans in Barcelona
Supporters who want a resting place connected to the club will be able to buy one inside the stadium itself. The final bill depends mostly on the length of the term and on the extras chosen. The 50-year package ends up near ten thousand euros once the reservation, urn and yearly maintenance are counted, while the shorter terms cost less up front but end sooner. The €70 yearly maintenance charge comes on top of every option. The street entrance means relatives can visit the space on ordinary days, not only when the stadium is open for a game.
The club has not said when bookings open or exactly when in 2027 the memorial will start receiving ashes.
