If he wished, he could give it his own name or any other, but not one that was forbidden by the Dictatorship, such as Joan Gamper. Even <strong>25 years after his death, Gamper was still uncomfortable for dictatorships<\/strong>. In the end, no agreement was reached, and <strong>the decision was postponed while popular opinion already spoke of the name it would eventually receive: the Camp Nou<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dificultats-economiques\"><strong>Economic difficulties<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p>The construction had been <strong>budgeted at 66 million pesetas but ended up costing 288 million due to a lack of oversight that no one controlled<\/strong>. Mir\u00f3-Sans spent without restraint or good judgment, and the club nearly went bankrupt. All this led to the resignation of the very president who had pushed the project forward. If we add to this the extremely high cost of a squad built with hefty spending and very expensive to maintain, <strong>the financial losses skyrocketed<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Additionally, <strong>the authorities did not reclassify the old Les Corts ground until years later, and it wasn\u2019t sold until 1966<\/strong>, when the club had already been in a delicate financial situation for years. To make matters worse, Habitat, the construction company that took over the land, paid in installments, even though people believed it had paid upfront. This severely conditioned the management of the new president, <strong>Enric Llaudet, who was forced to prioritize paying off the accumulated debt<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-gran-inauguracio\"><strong>The grand inauguration<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p>The inauguration of the stadium took place o<strong>n September 24th, 1957, the day of La Merc\u00e8, patron saint of Barcelona<\/strong>. Since the laying of the first stone three years earlier, members and supporters had been able to familiarize themselves with the new \u2018home\u2019 thanks to an exhibition featuring a scale model that, over two months, was visited by about 125,000 people\u2014evidence of the excitement it generated. <strong>The project was commissioned to architects Francesc Mitjans, Josep Soteras and Lorenzo Garc\u00eda-Barb\u00f3n<\/strong>. Mitjans, Mir\u00f3-Sans\u2019s cousin, traveled around the world studying the best stadiums of the era. <strong>The land had cost a total of 32.5 million pesetas, which Montal had paid upfront<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>A few months before the opening, <strong>a group of penyes submitted a long questionnaire with more than thirty questions to Mir\u00f3-Sans<\/strong>, demanding answers regarding a situation they considered unclear. Even so, <strong>the dictatorship prevented transparency and oversight of the expenses<\/strong>. On the inauguration committee, <strong>Nicolau Casaus was responsible for organizing the events<\/strong>, which ranged from an e<strong>xcursion to Montserrat to concerts, open-air festivities, and more<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>On La Merc\u00e8 day, under the presidency of minister Sol\u00eds Ruiz as the highest authority of the regime, <strong>the new stadium filled to witness a mass held on the pitch and various performances<\/strong>, including a gigantic sardana involving 1,500 dancers, the Clav\u00e9 Choirs, and the presence of the Orfe\u00f3 Catal\u00e0, as well as an <strong>endless parade of penyes, Catalan teams, and other sporting groups<\/strong> that joined the celebration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/?attachment_id=40266#main\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"585\" data-src=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Foto-61-Inauguracio-Camp-Nou-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40266 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 388px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 388\/585;aspect-ratio:0.6632565842192425;width:327px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Foto-61-Inauguracio-Camp-Nou-3.jpg 388w, https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Foto-61-Inauguracio-Camp-Nou-3-199x300.jpg 199w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-partit-inaugural\"><strong>Inaugural match<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p><strong>The inaugural match was played against a selection from Warsaw <\/strong>that included practically the best players in Poland. Let us recall the first Bar\u00e7a starting eleven that debuted at the Camp Nou: Ramallets; Olivella, Brugu\u00e9, Segarra; Verg\u00e9s, Gensana; Basora, Villaverde, Eulogio Mart\u00ednez, Evaristo and Tejada. Later, Gr\u00e0cia, Flotats, Hermes Gonz\u00e1lez, Sampedro, Ribelles, and Bosch also took part. The coach was Balmanya, and the technical secretary was Josep Samitier.   <\/p>\n\n<p>A \u201cSami\u201d as cunning as always who, years later, admitted having arranged with the Polish side that Bar\u00e7a would score the opening goal, thinking of posterity. And so it was Eulogio Mart\u00ednez who scored the first goal ever recorded in the new goals. The final score wa<strong>s 4\u20132 in favor of FC Barcelona<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-incidencia-de-les-penyes\"><strong>The influence of the penyes<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p>The active <strong>presence of the penyes shows the growing importance they were taking within the Club<\/strong>, acting as an opinion group on internal matters and participating in the organization of events, led by the visible figure at the time of the dominant penya: the<strong> Penya Solera<\/strong>, represented by Nicolau Casaus. It seems that not even the supporters\u2019 clubs could stop the massive increase in costs compared with the original budget, which became a ridiculous figure compared to what was ultimately paid for the grand stadium. <\/p>\n\n<p>To conclude, and regarding the construction of the Camp Nou, a legend circulates among former FC Barcelona employees claiming <strong>that Madrid did not allow the height of the new stadium\u2019s exterior fa\u00e7ade to exceed that of Real Madrid\u2019s stadium<\/strong>. Because of this, and always respecting government orders, <strong>it was decided to sink the pitch to increase seating capacity<\/strong>. Another example of how Catalan ingenuity was able to outsmart dictatorships.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/en\/chapter-20-the-penya-solera-part-1\/3-desfilada-penyes-inauguracio-camp-nou-1957-2\/#main#main\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" data-src=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-DESFILADA-PENYES-INAUGURACIO-CAMP-NOU-1957.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26777 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1620px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1620\/1080;width:693px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-DESFILADA-PENYES-INAUGURACIO-CAMP-NOU-1957.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-DESFILADA-PENYES-INAUGURACIO-CAMP-NOU-1957-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-DESFILADA-PENYES-INAUGURACIO-CAMP-NOU-1957-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-DESFILADA-PENYES-INAUGURACIO-CAMP-NOU-1957-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-DESFILADA-PENYES-INAUGURACIO-CAMP-NOU-1957-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The inauguration of the Camp Nou was an outburst of euphoria among the entire Bar\u00e7a fanbase; an injection of excitement for all culers after the failure of the \u201cDi St\u00e9fano case.\u201d President Mir\u00f3-Sans took advantage of the land already purchased by Agust\u00ed Montal i Galobart and, as a curiosity, it is worth noting that the &#8230; <a title=\"Chapter 43 \u2013 The Penyes and the inauguration of the Camp Nou\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/confederaciopenyes.cat\/en\/chapter-43-the-penyes-and-the-inauguration-of-the-camp-nou\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Chapter 43 \u2013 The Penyes and the inauguration of the Camp Nou\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2801],"tags":[4182,2562,2631,2886,3252,2561],"class_list":["post-40278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-history-penyes-en","tag-camp-nou-en-2","tag-confederacio-mundial-de-penyes-en-2","tag-history-en","tag-nicolau-casaus-en","tag-penya-solera-en","tag-penyes-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.7 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
