Barcelona have posted a stunning timelapse video showing how the Nou Camp has become a\u00a0stripped-out building site during the \u00a31billion redevelopment of one of the\u00a0world’s most iconic football stadiums.<\/p>\n
Building work started in June, with the \u00a31billion project expected to be completed in time for the start of the 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n
Most of the stadium has already been demolished, and work continues on the removal of the grandstand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Catalan giants have already unveiled CGI plans of how the Nou Camp will eventually look, with plans to expand the seating to 105,000 while adding a roof.<\/p>\n
Barca are currently playing their home games at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, located in the Montjuic part of the city.<\/p>\n

The upper-tier of the iconic stadium has been torn down to make way for a new structure<\/p>\n

The old Nou Camp had an upper-tier wrapped around only 50 per cent of the stadium, tapering off after reaching the halfway point of the shorter edges of the ovular ground.<\/p>\n
In order to reconstruct a full tier, the seats and framework for this existing structure have already been removed, paving the way for a full stand stretching across the full circumference of the new ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The existing small roof on the opposite side of the ground will also be taken down, to allow for the massive upper section to be built, creating a bowl-like structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the ground then looking like an ancient Roman Colosseum, a domed roof will be built on top with an aperture in the middle leaving approximately the centre third of the pitch open to the elements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is not the just the stadium itself, though, that is being revamped, with the grounds at the site also being done up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The existing area will also make way, with a newer, modern concourse outside the ground wrapped around the perimeter in a complete remodelling of the entrance to the stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The final product looks set to create a fearsome environment for visiting fans to the Nou Camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the stands flaring outwards away from the ground before being capped with the new roof, the noise will surely be deafening, and a febrile and closely-packed atmosphere will likely be common-place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
