Match-day guides
Step-by-step guides for going to a game: how to get to the stadium, which gate to use, what you can bring in and where to stay. Everything is written from my own match days, so you know what to expect before you land.
From Fan
To Reporter
Along the way, I worked for Polish sports media such as Interia and Eleven Sports, and eventually fulfilled a dream: I started working for FC Barcelona, appearing regularly on the Barça Live Show on Barça One.
In addition, I had the opportunity, among other things, to co-direct the program “Face 2 Face” with Ewa Pajor and Robert Lewandowski. It was the first, and so far the only, program produced by FC Barcelona entirely in Polish.

What I do
What 9CAMPNOU does for Barça fans
Tickets, explained
How to buy FC Barcelona tickets safely: from the official club ticket office to El Clásico and away games. I explain prices, seat categories and which sellers to avoid, so you don't overpay or end up with an invalid ticket.
Stadium & museum tours
What the Camp Nou Experience includes, which ticket to choose and how to combine the tour with a match day.
Barcelona Football Guide (ebook)
Everything from the blog and more in one guide you can read offline: planning, tickets, match day and football spots in the city. Available in English and Polish.
Newsletter
Ticket release dates, rule changes at the stadium and new guides, sent to your inbox before you need them.
Why me
Why fans trust 9CAMPNOU
I live here and I go to the games
I have lived in Barcelona since 2015 and have seen more than 200 Barça matches live. The guides come from my own match days, and I update them when the club changes the rules.
Accredited by Barcelona Turisme
Since 2016 I have been accredited by Barcelona Turisme, the city's official tourism organisation. I know Barcelona professionally, not only as a football fan, so the guides also cover getting around, where to stay and planning a football weekend in the city.
I read the local sources first
I speak Spanish and Catalan, so I follow club announcements and local media in the original, not through translations. When something changes at the stadium, I usually know before it reaches English-language sites.
A community behind every guide
More than 850,000 people follow 9CAMPNOU, and I run the official Polish supporters' club Penya Blaugrana de Łódź. Many guides start from real questions fans send me before their trip.
Clear about money
Some links on 9CAMPNOU are affiliate links, which help keep the site free. I only recommend options I would use myself, and I point you to the official club website whenever it's the best choice.
Who 9CAMPNOU is for
- Fans going to their first match at Camp Nou
- Fans travelling from abroad for a specific game, such as El Clásico or a Champions League night
- Families and groups planning a football weekend in Barcelona
