Barca's new Johan Cruyff Stadium will be officially opened on the 27th August

The new Johan Cruyff Stadium will be officially opened on the 27th August, according to Barcelona official Twitter account.

With the opening day just weeks away on August 27, the club is putting the finishing touches to its new Johan Cruyff Stadium, which will be welcoming supporters to the ground with a huge mural that symbolizes the way the great man was always so supportive of nurturing young footballing talent.

The Johan Cruyff Stadium will be the crown jewel of the Ciutat Esportiva and will bear the name of the Blaugrana legend, who was one of the main proponents of the Club's commitment to youth football and the style of play which characteristics FC Barcelona. 

The result is a modern and functional design created by Batlle and Roig Architects. 

One of the largest murals in Europe to use this format is 1,000 m2 in size and is the work of Axe Colors, the design studio that also illustrated the players tunnel at the Camp Nou. 

FC Barcelona wanted to make the area around the car park and entrance to the ground more colorful for fans heading to games played by Barça B, the Barça women's team and the U19 team when they play in the UEFA Youth League. And the result is simply spectacular!
