Spotify Camp Nou, evolving into Europe’s sports and entertainment epicentre.

Back to projects

The Espai Barça Camp Nou Redevelopment Project aims to turn Camp Nou into the largest football stadium in Europe. In collaboration with contractor Limak, Robert Bird Group is leading the structural, construction and digital engineering strategy - delivering innovative, methodology-led solutions to manage complexity, logistics and rapid delivery within a highly constrained urban site.

The stadium’s bowl is restructured into three distinct seating tiers, each optimised for visibility, crowd flow and comfort. A newly designed upper tier offers improved sightlines and capacity, while the refurbished lower and middle levels enhance circulation and accessibility. The 90,000m² of new below-ground structure enables expanded hospitality, retail, logistics and operations. A seamless integration of digital systems, intuitive wayfinding and immersive fan zones ensures the venue meets the expectations of a global audience.

Working within a live, inner-city setting and under an ambitious programme, Robert Bird Group (RBG) was tasked with defining a robust Construction Methodology and Erection Sequence (CMES). This guided both demolition and build-up across multiple zones, helping mitigate disruption and streamline the sequencing of major structural elements. The approach also supported complex logistics planning – such as the deployment and verification of six Zoomlion heavy-lift tower cranes – and informed construction staging throughout Tier 3 and the external basement.

A key innovation is the design and detailing of what will be the world’s largest stadium cable net roof – spanning across the full stadium bowl. RBG also led structural design for the rebuilt Tier 3 stand, its supporting foundations, and the integrated VDC modelling of all construction stages. Through digital visualisation and virtual construction sequencing, RBG supported Limak and FC Barcelona with ongoing presentations, design coordination and site-phase advisory services throughout tender and execution.

The outcome

The Espai Barça Redevelopment Project will deliver a transformational experience for fans, athletes and the wider Barcelona community. With RBG’s buildability-focused methodology at the core, the project overcomes spatial, structural and programme complexities – delivering a venue that reflects the ambition of FC Barcelona while setting a global benchmark in sports engineering, digital delivery and urban stadium redevelopment.
