The memorial will be open to supporters whether or not they hold club membership

FC Barcelona have unveiled plans for a 1,500-square-metre memorial inside Spotify Camp Nou, allowing supporters to place their ashes at the stadium. The project will include 26,000 columbarium spaces and 9,000 commemorative plaques, with reservations already open ahead of its phased opening from late 2027. Barcelona are creating a permanent memorial to the supporters who have shaped the club’s history, with the new facility located just metres from the pitch at Spotify Camp Nou.

The project, officially named Memorial FC Barcelona, is being developed in partnership with Més Que Un Memorial SL. According to the club, the space will combine columbaria for storing ashes with personalised plaques carrying supporters’ names and messages. In an announcement on Tuesday, 10 November, Barcelona confirmed that preparation work was progressing inside the stadium. The design will feature large murals celebrating significant moments in the club’s history, alongside visual, audiovisual and sound installations.

The memorial will be open to supporters regardless of whether they hold club membership. It will have its own permanent entrance from the street, while visitors will also be able to access it through Gate 35 on matchdays and special occasions.

How much will the Camp Nou memorial cost?

Reservations are already available, with supporters able to choose between 10, 25 and 50-year concessions. The official Memorial FC Barcelona website lists starting prices of €2,490 for 10 years, €4,990 for 25 years and €5,990 for 50 years. The first year of maintenance is included, but subsequent maintenance costs €70 annually. Urn provision and handling are charged separately at €180.

Supporters can select their preferred location within the memorial, although some sections carry additional charges. A €500 reservation secures a place, with the amount deducted from the final purchase. The 50-year option includes access to the shared Ara Comunitària when the concession ends. This provides a way for the ashes to remain at Camp Nou beyond the original term. The facility is expected to open in stages, with the first phase scheduled for the end of 2027 and the second for mid-2028, according to the memorial's published information.

The development comes as Barcelona continue an extensive redevelopment of their historic stadium. In September, the club's members approved a further €510 million financing operation to complete construction and address the financial impact of delays. With 26,000 columbarium spaces and thousands of commemorative plaques planned, the initiative gives supporters another way to maintain their connection with Barcelona beyond their lifetime.
