Barcelona set to build new stadium
Barcelona have confirmed plans to build the third largest stadium in the world with a capacity of 105,000.
Spokesman Toni Freixa said on Monday that the club would hold a referendum next year on whether the new ground would be an extensive remodelling of the existing Camp Nou or a built-from-new ground on a site close to the city.
When complete, the new Camp Nou will be third in terms of capacity to only two stadia – the Rungrado May Day stadium in North Korea, which holds 150,000, and the Saltlake Stadium in Calcuta, which holds 120,000.
