BARCELONA fans can continue supporting their beloved team in the afterlife by INTERRING THEIR ASHES at the Nou Camp.

But just like everything else at Barca, even that will cost lifelong supporters a pretty penny.

According to The Guardian, the Blaugrana have inaugurated the Memorial FC Barcelona, consisting of 26,000 niches where the club’s departed faithful can deposit their ashes.

But the Catalan giants will be fronting a significant bill to the afterlife.

Fans will have to splash £2,082 for ten years or £5,015 for 50 years, with an annual maintenance fee of £59.

Supporters, though, will also have the opportunity to guarantee their place to eternity.

And that will cost an astronomical £8,358, with a further £410 for a memorial plaque.

Barcelona‘s institutional vice-president Maria Elena Fort revealed her grandfather was the inspiration behind the initiative.

Fort said: “When my grandfather died many years ago, he said the only thing he wanted was to be buried next to Barca’s pitch so that he could hear the goals go in during the afterlife. Many fans dream of the same thing.”

This new initiative will be part of Barcelona’s redevelopment, scheduled to begin late next year.

Developments started in 2023 as part of a scheme to increase the Nou Camp’s capacity from 99,354 to 105,000.

The total cost was initially expected to be in the region of £752million, but it has since grown and it is now approaching £1.7billion.

Work is expected to be completed later this year but Barcelona will have to play part of next season at the Olympic Stadium while a roof is installed at the Nou Camp.
