Barcelona Plans Messi Tribute for Summer 2028 at Camp Nou
Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, confirmed that the club plans to honor Lionel Messi with a tribute once the renovations of the Spotify Camp Nou are fully completed. This announcement was made during Barcelona’s General Assembly on September 19, 2026.
Laporta stated that the tribute is targeted for summer 2028, coinciding with the expected completion of the stadium renovations. He emphasized the club's desire to provide Messi with a significant farewell in front of supporters, as he did not receive a proper send-off when he left Barcelona in 2021 due to the club's financial issues.
The tribute could accommodate nearly 105,000 spectators. Additionally, Laporta paid tribute to Messi's late father, Jorge Messi, who passed away in August 2026, acknowledging his crucial role in Messi's career.
Barcelona has been in contact with Messi's family regarding the tribute.
