WATCH: What Camp Nou will look like once Barcelona complete spectacular €1.5 billion redevelopment project

The elaborate Espai Barca renovation project has been in the pipework for some time, with the Catalan giants having to work hard in order to put the relevant finances in place. Construction is now well underway, with one of the most famous venues in football being stripped back to the bare bones.

Defending La Liga champions Barca are playing home games at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium while Camp Nou is given a facelift that is expected to take around 18 months to complete – with the iconic ground in need of modernisation to bring it screaming into the 21st century.

Barcelona have posted a video on social media showing supporters around the world what Sportify Camp Nou will become once work is finished – with a spectacular new home being delivered for the Catalan giants.

A domed roof is being added to Camp Nou, which leaves about one third of the pitch open to the elements through a central aperture, while the famous steep stands will flare out away from the ground as every effort is made to make the stadium as intimidating and atmospheric as possible.
