Mobility recommendations for Barça Women v Real Madrid at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys
Barça Women will face Real Madrid on Saturday at 4pm CET in week 11 of the Liga F. It will be a third meeting between the teams at the Estadi Olímpic, a response to FC Barcelona's commitment to Women's Football. FC Barcelona's game against Real Madrid in the UWCL at Spotify Camp Nou set a record attendance of 91,553 for a women's game.
Mobility and access
In order to cover the different movements on Montjuïc and all mobility needs, FC Barcelona, together with Barcelona City Council and the Guardia Urbana, is continuing with the agreed mobility plan to facilitate travel to the Estadi Olímpic. The measures aim to ensure smooth access to and exit from both Montjuïc and the stadium.
From 1pm, access by private vehicle will be restricted in most of the Montjuïc area and the stadium will open its doors at 2.30pm Vehicles will not be allowed to circulate in the areas closest to the Estadi Olímpic, and accreditation will be required to access the area around the Olympic Ring.
Prioritise public transport or travel on foot
Among the usual recommendations is also to set off in advance. In this regard, the funicular is not operating over the coming months due to improvement works. For this reason, an alternative route with a shuttle service will be provided to ensure the connection with Montjuïc and facilitate access to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. This service will be available only for the outbound journey, as it ends at 8.00pm.
As for other public transport, fans can take the metro and Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) train services to reach the area around the stadium: Espanya (L1, L3, L8 and other FGC lines); Poble Sec (L3); Paral·lel (L2, L3); Foc (L10 Sud); and Magòria–La Campana (L8 and other FGC lines).
You can also opt for TMB buses that go to Plaça Espanya (D20, D40, H12, H16, V7, 13, 23, 46, 52, 65, 79, 91, 109, 150 and 165) and Passeig de la Zona Franca (H16, V3, V5, 23, 109 and 125). You can also access the Olympic Ring by taxi, with Carrer del Foc the preferred route, and on the escalators that are currently functional. Also note that there are no locker rooms available at the ground.
Regarding the escalators, please note that the four new escalators located between Passeig Forestier and the car park next to the MNAC are being dismantled and re-installed. The ramp will remain closed on days when large-scale events are held in the Montjuïc area. During this period, alternative, clearly signposted routes will be available, with stewards on hand to guide and facilitate mobility.
As for motorbikes, up to 3,500 will be able to park in areas close to the stadium. If there is no alternative to accessing the area by car, the Fira Gran Via car park in L’Hospitalet can be used, with prepayment and reduced rates.
Shuttle service available
As for the shuttle service, fans will have two designated stops: one on Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina and another at Fira de Gran Via in L’Hospitalet. This special service will operate continuously from two hours before kick-off until one hour after the match, with the aim of facilitating both access to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and the return journey once the game has ended. The club recommends that all members and supporters use these shuttles to travel comfortably and help ease mobility around the Stadium.
Accesible Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys
The club also provides a series of guidelines on accessibility for people with disabilities, reduced mobility or wheelchair users, as well as for their companions. All the practical information for planning a visit to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on match days can be found here.
