FC Barcelona To Sell Camp Nou Naming Rights
Oct 28, 2017, by Chris
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said that Barcelona members will vote on a naming rights deal for the Nou Camp in the first half of 2018.
Some days ago, it was reported that the Barcelona could sign a deal with Grifols, an European multinational pharmaceutical and chemical company from Spain. Grifols said thet they have no agreement with Barça for naming rights to the Camp Nou and a sponsorship of this type would be not feasible. The stadium would have been called "Camp Nou Grifols".
Camp Nou Naming Rights Negotiations 'Are Going Well'
The Spanish giants already have plans in place for £536m (600m euros) redevelopment of their stadium, with work expected to start this season. A naming rights deal could help towards the cost.
"The negotiations to find a name for the Camp Nou are going well," said Bartomeu at the annual general meeting.
The Camp Nou has been Barcelona's home since 1957 and has hosted two European Cup finals - in 1989 and 1999.

What If Adidas Made Barcelona Kits?
Kit collector and insider @memorabilia1899 has shared an intriguing concept imagining how FC Barcelona would look if Adidas were the club's technical sponsor. Despite Barcelona having a long-term partnership with Nike extended through 2038, the fantasy of the German sportswear giant designing the Blaugrana's kits continues to spark conversation among football shirt enthusiasts.
The Adidas Barcelona concept leans heavily into retro aesthetics, combining classic vertical red and blue stripes with the iconic Trefoil logo on the chest. A dark blue polo collar, styled with 'BARÇA 1899' detailing, is paired with gold-orange accents seen across the Three Stripes on the shoulders and the centered Spotify sponsor logo. The full look is completed by navy blue shorts and matching socks.
Would you like to see Adidas manufacture Barcelona kits in the future, or does Nike remain the perfect fit for the Catalan giants?
