Barcelona offer to host Spain matches as Spotify Camp Nou redevelopment progresses

Barcelona have reportedly offered to host Spain matches in their Spotify Camp Nou stadium that is currently under reconstruction.

Football Espana reported that the City council has expressed excitement about the redevelopment project and its potential impact.

If approved, the stadium would not only be reestablish as an international match host, but could also increase the chances of the Spotify Camp Nou hosting some fixtures for the 2030 World Cup.
