Group behind refurbishment of Barcelona’s Camp Nou set to build 25,000-seat stadium for former Premier League club
THE group behind Barcelona’s £1.25billion renovation of the Camp Nou will build a former Premier League club’s new stadium.
Barca appointed Turkish contractors Limak to modernise their iconic ground, which is currently under construction.
The business have now secured a deal with Luton Town to build their new 25,000-seater home.
Work is set to start this summer at Power Court and there are plans for the club to move in for the 2028–29 season.
Stunning designs show a “halo” floodlight system that hangs above the pitch, a state-of-the-art hospitality section and the Hatters also want it to be able to host concerts.
The move will see Luton leave the 12,000-seater Kenilworth Road, which has been their home since 1905.
It comes despite the club suffering back-to-back relegations to League One from the Premier League.
Luton chief Gary Sweet said: “This is a transformative opportunity for the Club, helping us realise our ambitions to be a Premier League club again one day.
“We are united with the supporters on the need for a new stadium to move our Luton Town forward and we are delighted to be moving into this exciting construction phase.
“Importantly, this new stadium project roots us in our community, bringing jobs and investment as part of the wider regeneration of the area.

“Partnering with a company of Limak’s international standing offers us a global perspective with local delivery.
“We will collaborate closely with them to ensure the stadium reflects the spirit and needs of the community.
“It has been a long road to this point, but we are so excited at the prospect of welcoming our supporters to Power Court in the near future and the ability to extend our support base and enhance our unique match-day experience.”
The Power Court Stadium is Limak’s first job in the UK.
They already have projects across 14 other countries and have previously built stadiums in Turkey.
Limak claim they have been approached by other English sides about renovating other grounds.
Meanwhile, Barca’s Camp Nou modernisation has been delayed again and they risk starting another season away from their spiritual home.
