Barcelona offer fans chance to rest at Camp Nou forever for €10,000

For some football supporters, their love for a club lasts a lifetime. But Barcelona are offering their fans something rather unusual: a chance to remain at Camp Nou even after death.

The Spanish giants have unveiled plans for a memorial inside their famous stadium where supporters can have their ashes preserved, allowing their connection with the club to continue beyond their lifetime.

And there is a price to pay for that privilege.

According to The Guardian, supporters seeking a permanent resting place could pay €10,000.

How much will it cost?

The project, called Memorial FC Barcelona, will feature space for approximately 26,000 urns and 9,000 commemorative plaques.

According to the official memorial website, prices start at €2,490 for 10 years, €4,990 for 25 years and €5,990 for 50 years.

There are additional charges for maintenance and other services.

Supporters can also choose a commemorative plaque featuring the name of a loved one and a personal message.

And the interesting part? You do not even have to be a Barcelona club member to reserve a place.

'Hear the goals in the afterlife'

Barcelona vice-president María Elena Fort shared a touching family story while explaining the inspiration behind the project.
