Barça Femení will make their Montjuïc debut on November 19 in the Liga F clash with Real Madrid.

The match was initially scheduled to be played at the Johan Cruyff Stadium in Sant Joan Despí, with tickets selling out more than a month in advance.

Yet, the move of venue will allow for a far larger crowd capacity as Barcelona faces their eternal rivals. 

Tickets are available to the general public at prices between €19 and €56, with a 30% discount for members.

It is not the first time that a Barça-Real Madrid women's match will be played in the same stadium as the men's team.

The Champions League quarter-final in March 2022 against the same opponent was moved to the Camp Nou stadium, where a world-record crowd of 91,553 people attended the 5-2 victory for the blaugrana.

Barça Femení have become a global sensation after huge progress on the pitch in recent years, winning the Women's Champions League twice and completely dominating the domestic league. 

The team has played Champions League matchs at the Camp Nou on six occasions, setting new records for attendances at an official women's football match twice, with the record now being the April 2022 semi-final clash with Wolfsburg, which drew a crowd of 91,648.

Many of the Barcelona team members took part in Spain's national team that won the World Cup in Australia this summer.

Barça midfielder Aitana Bonmatí was also named UEFA Women's Player of the Year.
