Part of the sponsorship programme associated with the future Spotify Camp Nou, this agreement will see Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions provide more sustainable heating, ventilation and air conditioning solutions, with air purification (using nanoe^TM X technology), and latest generation heat pump systems for each space in the refurbished blaugrana home. Furthermore, high precision heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment will be used in the technical areas, such as rooms containing the servers and for broadcasting games, where device reliability and quality is essential.

This is also an opportunity for the sponsorship programme developed specifically for Espai Barça, one of the most important projects in the Club’s history, and which has provided a platform full of new opportunities for both companies that directly target consumers (B2C) and those focused on the business sector (B2B), making the most of FC Barcelona’s global prestige and outreach.
