According to the Spanish media "Marca", Barcelona plans to hold the unveiling ceremony of the new Camp Nou Stadium in the summer of 2026, and pay tribute to the club's legend Messi. This is the intention revealed by Barcelona when communicating with some media. They informed the media that this was Barcelona's intention, and the players also agreed.
sources did not confirm this statement. Barcelona's intention is to hold this event to pay tribute to Messi. However, as of now, no one has consulted Messi on whether to attend the tribute event.
The Marca believes that Messi's attendance is not easy because Messi's relationship with Barcelona chairman Laporta is extremely cold.
Laporta has also tried to allow Messi to attend the club's 125th anniversary celebration. But Messi did not receive an invitation to the event. Messi hopes to participate, and he takes Barcelona into consideration. The problem lies in the relationship between Messi and Barcelona's management.
Although the club has revealed that it has been approved by the public, they have not yet received Messi's approval.
