Barcelona-Athletic Bilbao, to be played at Camp Nou: the Blaugrana’s statement

This decision was made possible thanks to obtaining the phase 1B first occupancy license, which allows the stadium’s capacity to be expanded to 45,401 spectators. The authorization specifically concerns the entire Lateral area, integrating with the licenses already granted for the Tribuna and Gol Sud sections. The club specified that work will also continue on the Gol Nord, with the goal of completing the entire facility and reaching the planned total capacity of 105,000 spectators. This gradual expansion will allow Barcelona to welcome a greater number of fans at future matches.

At the same time, the club is coordinating with UEFA on the necessary procedures to host the Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou. The goal is to ensure that all matches, both domestic and European, can take place with maximum safety and with the participation of the public.
