What Barcelona members will vote on at the September 19 assembly

Club members will be asked to rule on the agreement reached with Babylon Park Spain SL. The proposal includes a concession for children's parks lasting more than five years, which represents a long-term commitment between the club and the family entertainment company.

The September 19 assembly is shaping up as a key date for the stadium's commercial future. Approval would allow the club to move forward with integrating an attraction zone inside the Spotify Camp Nou, in line with its strategy of generating new revenue from its assets.

Babylon Park, the company looking to move into Camp Nou

Babylon Park describes itself as one of the world's most technologically advanced indoor theme park networks. The company operates more than 20 venues outside Europe and has three decades of experience in the family entertainment sector.

The concept was created by Efi Malka, founder of Babylon, and Teddy Sagi, founder of Playtech and owner of London's Camden Market. Its arrival in Spain took place in 2022 with a first major venue at the Westfield Parquesur shopping center in Leganés, which stands out for having the only indoor roller coaster in the Community of Madrid.

Babylon Park's push into the Spanish market

Babylon Park's European expansion has Spain as one of its top priorities. The company considers that the country offers enormous growth potential thanks to its local leisure culture, a point it already made when opening its Madrid location.

In our expansion in Europe, we want to bet on the Spanish market for its enormous growth potential, due to the local leisure culture.

That project in Leganés was launched in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, the operator of Madrid's largest shopping center. A potential move into the Spotify Camp Nou would be a significant step for the company, linking it with one of the world's most recognized clubs.

What the amusement park means for the Spotify Camp Nou

Installing an indoor amusement park would reinforce the transformation of Barcelona's stadium into an entertainment space that goes beyond football. The project fits with the club's push to diversify the use of its facilities and offer year-round experiences for all ages.

The agreement with Babylon Park Spain SL comes at a time when the club is looking to maximize the return on its infrastructure. If members approve the concession, Camp Nou would add a family entertainment offering with its own appeal, independent of the sporting calendar.
