FC Barcelona will have a new pitch for the Gamper

In order to be able to play the first game scheduled at the Camp Nou in 2017/18 on a brand new surface, Barça’s ground staff have been working since Wednesday, removing the old pitch.

The Joan Gamper Trophy will be contested on August 7 against Chapecoense, and in the days leading up to the match the final touches will be made to ensure that the turf is in perfect condition for players of both teams.
