The rampant construction work going on at Barcelona’s Spotify Camp Nou witnessed some drama today.
According to MARCA, about 20 workers got into a fight with each other over some discrepancy. The fight happened sometime around 2:30 pm and turned ugly.
That is because the workers involved in a fight started hitting each other with sticks. In fact, some workers even got injured due to the fight.
What caused the fight?
The exact reason that led to this fight remains unknown. However, there were ramifications for those involved in the fight.
As per the report, the construction manager fired all of the 20 workers who were involved, though none of them were identified.

The ongoing construction project at Camp Nou has so far required 5,700 employment contracts and around 1,750 workers are actively carrying out the project.
The overall project covers 222,000 square meters of construction work, which includes the stadium as well as the nearby facilities. It must be remembered that the entire Espai Barça project is expected to cost Barcelona around €1.45 billion.
When will Barcelona return to Camp Nou?
Barcelona fans are desperate to see their beloved club return to their old stadium. But in light of delays in the project, the club’s initial goal of returning to Camp Nou by the end of 2024 will not be met.
It was projected that Barcelona would return to Camp Nou in February 2025, but even that has been reportedly delayed until March.
During the initial stages, though, the newly-built Camp Nou may only be able to hold up to 65,000 spectators, as the stadium is still expected to go through renovations until 2026.
