Barça’s Safety Overhaul: Camp Nou Gets a Security Makeover Ahead of La Liga Clashes
Barça strengthens safety measures at Camp Nou ahead of upcoming La Liga fixtures.

Safety Upgrades at Camp Nou

Camp Nou safety measures are set to be completed before Levante.

Overview and Measures

Barcelona has launched a security overhaul at Spotify Camp Nou after recent incidents involving visiting fans.

Mundo Deportivo reports measures include inspecting and reinforcing barrier anchors, replacing acrylic panels with 18mm-thick ones, and removing the first row behind the barrier.

The club will also publish a certified lab report to test barrier strength and install nets up to 14 meters tall.

Most changes start with Mallorca next Saturday, with net installation finished before the Levante game on February 22.

Barça aims to keep fans safe while maintaining the atmosphere; measures are discreet but effective, with thicker barriers and taller nets.

Punchline: If these nets grow taller, the photos may need to be taken from the other side.

Punchline: And if the keeper complains, tell him it's for the fans' safety.
