The Palau Blaugrana facility will be located on the current site of the Miniestadi, next to the new Camp Nou station and will have four separately functioning spaces.

The facility will also feature a new multi-purpose Palau with capacity to 12,000 spectators for sports events and 12,500 spectators for cultural and social events.
