One year after his death, Barcelona says it will name the future stadium at its training center after Dutch great Johan Cruyff. The new stadium at Barcelona's training center just outside the Catalan city will be called ''Johan Cruyff Stadium'' in honor of the club's former player and coach. Barcelona also says it will commission a ''commemorative sculpture'' of Cruyff, who died of lung cancer on March 24 last year at age 68.
