Barcelona have confirmed plans to build the third largest stadium in the world with a capacity of 105,000. The Barça board of directors will make a decision in the first two weeks of January on what stadium project will be subject to a referendum with the club's members.

According to Toni Freixa, there are currently two alternatives. The first involves the construction of a new stadium on the Avenida Diagonal, on an area of land which belongs to the University of Barcelona. The second involves a reconstruction of the Camp Nou at the current location.

When complete, the new Camp Nou will be third in terms of capacity to only two stadia: the Rungrado May Day stadium in North Korea, which holds 150,000, and the Saltlake Stadium in Calcuta, which holds 120,000.
