Moix explains state of the Club’s assets

Vanessa Forns


The director of the economic and strategic area of FC Barcelona has explained, among other issues, the situation regarding the construction of the new Palau and the possibility of a partial remodelling of the Camp Nou.



Jordi Moix has said that Barça’s independence always depends to a large extent on its fixed assets. In this regard, he expressed that all decisions regarding its investments take three main aspects into consideration: “they must have repercussions for sport, and also the members and must also produce financial profits.” His discussion concentrated on four locations: Les Corts, the Ciutat Esportiva, Can Rigal and Viladecans.

Focusing on Les Corts, Moix spoke about what he feels to be the most pressing issue. “We are working on the feasibility of a new Palau” he said. After confirming that the pavilion would be located on the future Espai Barça, the director revealed an expected cost of 75 million euros, adding that “we have to guarantee that this will be sustainable. We have to finance it with external resources.”

Moix also indicated that the completion of the new Palau would be the starting point for many of the elements that will feature in this new Espai Barça, which will be based around the area of the Camp Nou and Palau, and that of the Miniestadi.

After explaining that the club expects to receive the results of its feasibility study in late 2011 or late 2012, Moix said that the club is in contact with the Euroleague, to whom it is committed to providing regular updates regarding the evolution of the project.

Remodelling the Camp Nou

The basic issue concerning the expansion of the Camp Nou is to “redesign vertical circulations in order to improve the operability of the facility and to create new spaces”. The spaces the club has in mind include “new catering zones and new boxes.”
