The Catalan club still faces spending restrictions because they breached their La Liga-imposed season cap.
FC Barcelona “Memorabilia project”
With the renovation works for Camp Nou currently underway, the LaLiga giants have come up with a very innovative way to raise even more funds. The club are currently selling items in a collection titled “FULL OF HISTORY. FULL OF FUTURE” as part of their “Memorabilia project”. Under the “Memorabilia project”, the club is selling off parts of the ground. The items include the seats from the 100,000-capacity stadium as well as the grass from the playing surface and products from the stadium soil.
Barcelona selling diamonds made from Camp Nou soil
Interestingly, Barcelona have used the carbon in the soil from the stadium pitch to create “ethical, sustainable diamonds”. The club have made altogether 11,799 items from the soil of their last ever game at the stadium. Their last match was a 3-0 win over Mallorca back in May 28. The prices of the diamonds go up to €15,000 ($15,800.)
Altogether, there are six different diamond-encrusted products, starting with two types of bracelet and two different insignias. These two items are priced between €499 and €699 ($525-$736.) Meanwhile, there are 1,957 products such of each design available as tribute to the inaugural year of Camp Nou. Aside from those, there are 1,957 gold necklaces priced at €1,000/$1,005 and 1,957 0.5-carat diamonds priced at €2,500/$2,630. The standout items however, are the 57 pieces of 1-carat diamond available at a price of €15,000 each.
Camp Nou seats for sale
Aside from the diamonds, the seats of the Camp Nou stadium are also up for sale. In particular, season ticket-holders can purchase the seats that haven’t been damaged beyond repair ever since the renovation works began. Supporters will get a chance to claim the very chairs they sat in for Clásicos and big Champions League nights. Following which club members, and the general public will then get to purchase them. The seats are priced from €99.99-€299.99 ($105.35-$316.08).
Some other items on sale are patches of grass from the pitch, which comes in a small model Camp Nou, framed or in glass casing. Parts of the goal nets used in the final game, cut out and framed are also available on sale.
The patches of turf are selling for between €20 to €50 (£17 to £42) while online the Barcelona shop is offering larger squares some of which are framed, for between €80 (£68) and €420 (£360).
Camp Nou renovation progress
Earlier this year, the club left Camp Nou and relocated to the city’s Olympic Stadium to allow stadium renovations. The stadium is currently undergoing a partial knock down, and is being rebuilt and revamped to adhere to modern standards. The renovation process is currently fully underway with the club hopeful of returning back by November 2024. The club is hopeful of completely finishing the upgrade at Camp Nou by 2026. Fans are also hoping that Lionel Messi will be back for a grand reopening.
