Barcelona to Host Inaugural Game at Partially Completed Camp Nou on Saturday
Barcelona have announced they are set to host at the still-under-construction Camp Nou over the weekend. They will welcome the Bilbao team in domestic competition two and a half years since relocating so building work could begin.
