Barcelona officially launch the construction of the Johan Cruyff Stadium




Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu says Johan Cruyff "would be delighted" to have a ground in his honour after the club officially launched the construction of the Johan Cruyff Stadium on Thursday.

The stadium, which is being built at Barca's training centre in Sant Joan Despi, will hold 6,000 supporters and will cost around €19 million to build.

Once ready, sometime before 2021, it will replace the Mini Estadi, which is next to the Camp Nou, as the home ground for Barca B, Barca's women's team and the under-19 side when they play in the UEFA Youth League.
