The much-anticipated Finalissima between Argentina, champions of the 2024 Copa America, and Spain, winners of UEFA Euro 2024, promises to be an exciting event.

Barcelona fans, in particular, will be looking forward to this encounter, which could see former superstar Lionel Messi take on the current sensation Lamine Yamal.

While initial speculation suggested that the showdown could occur in 2025, recent reports indicate that the match may be pushed back to March 2026, the year of the next World Cup.

The clash between the two players is expected to draw immense global attention, and it appears Barcelona are eager to make Camp Nou the venue for this historic encounter.

New Camp Nou: A perfect backdrop?

Camp Nou, currently undergoing extensive renovations, is being readied to host events of such magnitude.

The renovation plans are progressing well, with the club recently reaching an agreement with Barcelona’s city council to accelerate construction work.

Barcelona aim to return to their historic ground by the end of 2024, with an initial seating capacity of 64,000.

Once the renovation is fully completed, Camp Nou will boast a capacity of up to 105,000, making it the perfect backdrop for a match like the Finalissima.
