For the past 15 years, Laurence Grigorov has served as the director of Laurence Martin Developments, a South African property development company based in Johannesburg. Outside of work, Laurence Grigorov enjoys following his favorite rugby and soccer teams, which include FC Barcelona.

The FC Barcelona organization recently announced the final stages of construction of Johan Cruyff Stadium. Construction of the property was started in mid-September 2017.

When completed, the stadium will serve as the new home of FC Barcelona’s reserve team, Barca B, and the club’s women’s team. The FC Barcelona U19A side will also play at the stadium.

Construction of Johan Cruyff Stadium is expected to be completed by May 2019. Notable features will include two tiers with capacity for 6,000 spectators, an innovative lighting system, and a hybrid grass field surface. The stadium, named in honor of the late soccer player and coach, will host its first matches in the 2019-20 season.
