Barcelona's New Palau Financing Deal

FC Barcelona has announced an external investor will fund the construction of the new Palau Blaugrana, with the club providing the land on the former Miniestadi site.

President Joan Laporta and economic vice president Ferran Olivé revealed the financing model during the club's Ordinary General Assembly on September 19. The external company will cover all construction costs in exchange for operating rights to non-Barça events at the venue for up to 50 years, as confirmed by Olivé in Cadena SER interviews.

This innovative financing approach, drawing inspiration from European models, allows FC Barcelona to develop a new facility without major capital expenditure while still retaining ownership of the land where the new arena will be built. betsport24.es
