Barcelona confirmed in March their iconic stadium will be renamed the ‘Spotify Nou Camp’ from next season, after securing a £237million sponsorship deal.
This marks the first time in the stadium’s 65-year history that Barcelona’s home ground will be rebranded – with the deal will also seeing the Spotify logo appear on the front of both the men’s and women’s team shirts for the start of next season.
