Barcelona to open ashes memorial for fans at Camp Nou

In depth

Barcelona city council has approved the creation of an ashes burial site at Camp Nou, after two earlier rejections and a campaign lasting about a decade. The site will include 26,000 cells for storing ashes for 25 or 50 years, and they will be located in the north stand. The price starts at 2,490 euros.

The project allows fans of the club to remain close to Camp Nou even after their death. According to the project, it is possible to hear the goals even in the next world, said one of the fans who asked to join. Barcelona is launching the project as an unusual memorial for its fans.

A former player of the club has already promised his place in the site. The project has aroused interest in Spain, and it will continue to advance after city approval.
