UE Sant Andreu will play at home after agreement with the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona to adapt the Narcís Sala
UE Sant Andreu will continue playing next season at the Estadio Narcís Sala, a decision that directly affects the life of the neighbourhood and its supporters. The Ayuntamiento de Barcelona has confirmed the installation of natural grass, an essential requirement to compete in the Primera Federación.
The agreement comes after weeks of negotiations between the club and the council. The priority was to ensure the team could remain at its usual stadium without breaching regulations. To achieve this, the works will be processed urgently, aiming for the new pitch to be ready at the start of the season.
In addition to the playing surface, the Estadio Narcís Sala will upgrade its lighting to reach the 600 lux required by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol. This update will allow the ground to meet all the technical and safety standards of the division.
While the works are underway, the club is reorganising its structure. The youth teams will temporarily move to other pitches in the district, such as facilities in Bon Pastor y Baró de Viver, to ensure training and competitions continue without interfering with the construction.
The change represents a significant adjustment in the daily life of the neighbourhood, but it also strengthens the bond between the team and its surroundings. Keeping matches in Sant Andreu avoids travel and maintains sporting activity in the area.
The Estadio Narcís Sala, inaugurated in 1970, is a symbol for the district. Its adaptation to natural grass not only meets a sporting requirement, but also represents an investment in the club's future and the continuity of local football tradition.
