My experience of going to watch FC Barcelona in the Nou Camp

A few months ago, while on holiday in Barcelona with two of my best friends, I got the opportunity to visit the Nou camp Stadium to watch FC Barcelona (my favourite team) take on Tenerife on the green turf.

We got seats in the tenth lateral among the first two tiers, from which we were able to get a good view of the players Barcelona Nou campand the match. Since this was my first visit to the Nou camp Stadium, I was quite excited and ended up taking several shots of the stadium even before the match could begin. After it did, I was too busy cheering the FC Barcelona team on and only managed to get a few pictures of the match. Although I did not know the team song when the match began, I eventually learned it during the course of the game.

It had rained during the game but no one left, and watching hundreds of people sit in the rain and cheer FC Barcelona was an incredible experience in itself. It gave me an instantaneous insight into the city’s love for football and the patriotism of the people. The game ended 4:1 in favour of Barca and will always be one of my favourite memories of my first trip to Barcelona.

This is a must do activity and if you are in Barcelona, even if you are not an avid football fan, do not fail to get tickets for a FC Barca match in the Nou camp Stadium. If only to experience the electric atmosphere and the fervent support of the team, a trip here will be worth your while. The staff at the Nou camp Stadium is both friendly and efficient and will help you with your queries. Do not forget to take the stadium tour and visit the museum while you are there.
