FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta: FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has welcomed UEFA's decision on Tuesday to select Camp Nou as the venue for the 2029 Champions League final.

UEFA decided on the stadium still undergoing redevelopment work. Once the project is completed, Camp Nou is expected to have a capacity of 105,000. "It is a source of immense pride for FC Barcelona and for all Barcelona fans," Laporta said on the club's website.

Laporta added that the decision to award Camp Nou the 2029 final was "also international recognition for the new Camp Nou, cementing its status as a world-class stadium at the forefront of experience, technology, connectivity, accessibility, and services."
