Goldin announced its FC Barcelona Auction on Tuesday, featuring items used by the club’s top players at Spotify Camp Nou Stadium.

The stadium, which first opened its doors in 1957, has been under renovation since 2023. As part of the auction, Goldin will offer lockers and benches from the stadium used by players such as Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Neymar.

Additionally, the auction will include the field crest from the home and visiting coaching areas and the penalty spot on turf from the last game played at the stadium.

“FC Barcelona has millions of fans around the world and these items represent the history, talent, and spirit of the club — they’ve been part of the journey to greatness for so many legends of the sport,” Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin said in a statement. “We’re honored to bring these one-of-a-kind pieces to Barça fans, for the very first time.”

In November, Sotheby’s held an auction of items from Real Madrid’s locker room, including 24 lockers used by Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham.

Among the lockers set to sell at Goldin are ones adorned with the faces of the athletes who used them over the years, including Messi, who is depicted mid-game on the front of his locker, along with a bench featuring his No. 10.

The auction is set to begin Jan. 23 and run until Feb. 12.
