FC Barcelona training pitch equipped with Philips Urban LED wall

PPDS, the global provider of Philips Professional Displays and complementary solutions, has announced the installation of a Philips Urban LED wall at Spanish football club FC Barcelona’s Tito Vilanova training pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva campus.

Together with FC Barcelona’s commitment to installing advanced and sustainable technologies in its new Camp Nou stadium - for which Philips Professional Displays is the Official Digital Display Supplier - the Club also prides itself on developing and implementing the latest training methods and innovations, with an ever-growing emphasis on technology to help stay on top.

Ahead of the 2025/2026 La Liga season, FC Barcelona sought new opportunities to upgrade Pitch 1, with the introduction of a display system to bring new visual capabilities and detailed analysis to the touchline for both coaching and playing staff. Now known as Camp Tito Vilanova, Pitch 1 is the first team’s official training area, featuring an 11-a-side (105 x 68 metres) pitch, a 4,643 sqm warm-up area, and a 1,400 capacity terrace.

To support their vision, the club teamed up with PPDS, together with local LED integration expert LED Dream, for the project, installing a 5.5 x 3 metre Philips Urban LED 7000 Series LED wall located just beyond the touchline, tailored precisely around the club’s night and day needs. The LED wall provides coaching staff with multiple live views of the action, together with detailed real-time player analysis and instant reviews/replay capabilities.

With 6,000 nits of brightness, the 3.9 pp LED wall is capable of standing up to the rigours of all weather and lighting conditions in the Catalonian capital, whether heavy rain, direct sunlight or floodlight glare. The 7000 Series also includes an IP66 rating, resistant to dust and corrosive airborne salt spray from the nearby Mediterranean sea.
