Barcelona FC is not only focused on their upcoming Clásico match against Real Madrid but also on finding innovative ways to generate revenue. As their stadium renovation continues, the club has come up with a new project called ‘Memorabilia’ to sell off parts of the ground and create unique items for fans.
One of the most intriguing items in this collection is diamonds made from the soil of the pitch. These ethical and sustainable diamonds, created from the carbon in the soil of the last game played at the stadium, are truly one-of-a-kind. However, with a price tag of €15,000 ($15,800), they might be out of reach for the average fan.
In addition to the diamonds, there are other items available for purchase. The collection includes bracelets, insignias, gold necklaces, and 0.5-carat diamonds, all with a special connection to the stadium. The pièce de résistance is a limited edition 1-carat diamond, of which there are only 57 available.
But it’s not just the diamonds that fans can get their hands on. The stadium’s seats, which hold so many memories of Clásicos and Champions League nights, are also up for sale. Season ticket-holders will have the first opportunity to claim their seats, followed by club members and then the general public. Imagine having a piece of Camp Nou in your own backyard!
And if that’s not enough, patches of grass from the pitch, framed models of the stadium, and even pieces of the nets from the final game against Mallorca are also available for purchase.
This unique money-making scheme is a clever way for Barcelona FC to raise funds while their spending is restricted. The club is working tirelessly to complete the stadium renovation by 2026, with the hope of Lionel Messi returning to play a part in its grand opening.
So, if you’re a die-hard Barça fan looking for a special piece of memorabilia, this is your chance to own a piece of history and support your beloved club at the same time. Get ready to show off your Camp Nou pride!
