Barcelona will make a decision in January on whether to expand their Nou Camp stadium or move to a new location.

The Spanish club want to increase the capacity of Europe's largest football stadium from 99,354 to 105,000, and build a roof to cover the ground.

Barcelona's board of directors will vote on the plan early in the new year.

Board spokesman Toni Freixa said: "We've made advances, we have all the information and we're in a position to make a decision."

The iconic Nou Camp has been the home of Barcelona since 1957 and has hosted two European Cup finals - in 1989 and 1999 - the World Cup in 1982 and the Olympic football tournament in 1992.

Friexa said while one option would see the construction of a new stadium on ground currently belonging to the University of Barcelona, the other project involved a "profound remodelling" of the existing stadium.

He added: "Both would have a capacity of 105,000 spectators, the stadium would be covered.

"It needs to be viable from a technical perspective, urbanist and economic. We would never submit a project that would endanger the sustainability of the club."

Careful. You're walking on a thin line. Barcelona fans will hunt you down.

Ugh..... I still like the Camp Nou better. I don't see the difference from a 99,000 capacity and a 105,000 capacity. To them, it would cost so much to build the new stadium containing the 6,000 extra seats that it would take a long time to recover the money back again. And besides, the Camp Nou is a historical place. I'd rather play El Clasico in the Bernabeu or Camp Nou, rather than a "Nou Camp Nou (lol)" or a "Estadio Santiago 'Microsoft' Bernabeu".

Are Barca and Real now competing to see which club has the worst stadium idea?

Wow stupid idea tbh Barca dont need 105,000 seater if they want it then upgrade not build a new one

One more thing i dont to suffer like Arsenal when they build the Emirates they sell their keyplayers just to build it

I say expand the current stadium and not move to a completely new one. Camp nou has 60 + years of history ,tradition and memories, anyone voting to seperate from that is not a real supporter and can go **** themselves.
