FC Barcelona have acquired 27.8 hectares of land in the area of Viladecans at a price of €18 million from Golf Viladecans.

The land, which is effectively triangular, is located in the area of l'Estany del Remolar, between the Castelldefels motorway.

According to the Plan General Metropolitan and the Special Plan, the land is classified to be used for sporting purposes. Therefore, the club can reserve it for the future if any expansion plans or new sites are put forward.

This operation strengthens the real estate portfolio of the club and is the fruit of a project started early last year with the help of the Viladecans city council. The board of directors approved the operation on November 22 last year and a few days later, on November 28, the contract was signed that was finalised on May 28, 2008.
