FC Barcelona have announced that they have sold 70,000 tickets for a match against Real Madrid’s women’s section, and will continue selling more. The Barcelona women are fresh off a highly successful season and are looking to do it all again this term, and they will host Real Madrid in the UEFA Women’s Champions League at Camp Nou.
The Catalans usually play at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, which has a maximum capacity of 6,000 spectators. But this special tie has been moved to Camp Nou, which holds many, many more people. That means that there could be 11 or more times as many spectators as usual.
