Johan Cruijff Stadium

On 21 October 2013 Fútbol Club Barcelona announced that it had bought a 26,811-square-metre property adjoining its Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training ground at Sant Joan Despí for 8.27 million euros, presenting the purchase as a strategic investment behind a proposed amendment to the metropolitan plan that would enlarge the club's sporting facilities by twenty per cent. On 14 November the board member responsible for the club's estate, Jordi Moix, announced what the ground was for: a new stadium for the youth and reserve sides, built so that the Miniestadi could be demolished and its plot in the Les Corts district released, which in turn would allow the Camp Nou to be reworked. The stadium was one of the first phases of the club's Espai Barça programme.

The design competition was decided on 25 May 2015 in favour of the practice Batlle i Roig Arquitectes, whose scheme took its asymmetric profile - a low terrace on one side and a two-tier stand on the other - from the Campo de la calle Industria, the club's first ground. The brief required a venue fit for the Spanish Segunda División and for UEFA Category 3, with six thousand covered seats and seven hundred parking spaces, at a cost of twelve million euros: nine for the stadium itself, two for the car park and one for the surrounding works. Building was scheduled to begin in January 2016.

Johan Cruyff, who had played for and later managed Barcelona, died in March 2016. On 25 March 2017, marking the first anniversary of his death, the club announced that the new ground would carry his name, citing what he had contributed to Barcelona's youth football. The stadium's foundation stone was laid at a formal ceremony on 14 September 2017, attended by the club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, the Espai Barça commissioner Jordi Moix, Cruyff's family, the first-team captain Andrés Iniesta, the former players José María Bakero, Guillermo Amor and Hristo Stoichkov, the women's players Laura Ràfols and Marta Unzué, representatives of Barça B and the youth sides, and Antoni Poveda, mayor of Sant Joan Despí.

The stadium was finished in 2019 and opened on 27 August with a friendly between the under-19 sides of Barcelona and Ajax, two of the clubs Cruyff had played for. His son Jordi Cruyff, himself a former Barcelona player, took the ceremonial kick-off. Ajax won 2-0 in front of 5,214 spectators. The day before the opening, the club had unveiled a statue of Cruyff at the Camp Nou. On 7 September 2019, on the opening matchday of the 2019-20 Liga Iberdrola, the women's team beat CD Tacón 9-1 before 5,413 people, the largest crowd the ground had held to that point.

The men's first team first played at the ground in the 2020 pre-season, beating Nàstic de Tarragona on 12 September and Girona on 16 September; both matches were played without spectators under the health restrictions then in force for the Covid-19 pandemic. The side returned in the 2021 pre-season for a 4-0 win over Nàstic, watched by a reduced crowd of 2,037, the first time the first team had played at the ground in front of spectators. The Mini Estadi, which had stood in front of the Camp Nou and which this ground replaced, was demolished in 2020, its land earmarked for the Nou Palau Blaugrana. At the start of the 2025-26 season the first team used the stadium intermittently for several fixtures, until the Camp Nou reopened in November 2025.

The ground is owned by Fútbol Club Barcelona and operated for Barcelona Atlètic; it also houses the women's team and the Juvenil A under-19 side. It holds six thousand and is rated UEFA Category 3, which admits matches in the UEFA Women's Champions League and the UEFA Youth League, and it is cleared by the Spanish league for Segunda División football. It sits beside the Joan Gamper training complex, about seven kilometres from the Camp Nou, but works independently of it. The streets that meet at the site - Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, Ana María Martínez Sagi and Federica Montseny - were named by the town council after figures tied to Barcelona football and to the Spanish Civil War.
