Johan Cruyff Stadium (Catalan: Estadi Johan Cruyff) is a football stadium operated by Barcelona in Sant Joan Despí, Province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, located in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, the club's training facility and youth academy, about 7 km from the Camp Nou. The stadium is home to Barcelona Femení, Barcelona B and Juvenil A (U19 A team). It is named in honor of legendary Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff who died in March 2016.
It is a UEFA Category 3 stadium and houses 6,000 supporters.[1] As part of the Espai Barça project, it is the replacement for the Mini Estadi, which was in front of the Camp Nou and was demolished in 2020,[2] and the land of the Mini Estadi will be used to build the Nou Palau Blaugrana.
History
[edit | edit source]Estadi Johan Cruyff broke ground on 14 September 2017 and was completed in 2019. It was opened on 27 August 2019 with a friendly match between the under-19 teams of Barcelona and Ajax.[3] The match ended up in a 0–2 score where Ajax was the winner.[4] On 26 August 2019, a day before the stadium was officially opened to the public, Barcelona paid tribute to Cruyff by unveiling his statue at the Camp Nou.[5] The stadium is currently the temporary home of Barcelona during the renovation of their own stadium, the Camp Nou, beginning on the 2025–26 season.
