Barcelona offers support after worker dies at Camp Nou renovation site

A 54-year-old worker has died while working on the redevelopment of Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium. FC Barcelona has said it is offering support to the man’s family, friends and colleagues.

Catalan regional police said the death is believed to have followed a blow sustained during the works. Emergency services were called to the stadium but were unable to save him, and the circumstances are now being investigated.

The incident comes during the long-running renovation of the stadium, which began in June 2023. The project is intended to increase capacity to 105,000 and is expected to be completed in early 2028.

For editors and readers, the main issue is not the construction timetable but how safety, accountability and transparency are handled while the investigation continues.
