Camp Nou: Date set for Barça vs PSG Champions League showdown | OneFootball

Camp Nou

Will the FC Barcelona vs PSG clash be played at Camp Nou? The date for the decision has been set.

After yet another postponement, Barça's return to Camp Nou is now scheduled for the end of September. This date is crucial, as Barça is also set to host PSG on Wednesday, October 1st in the Champions League. UEFA requires the match to be played in front of fans, but has agreed to allow the fixture at a partially open Camp Nou if safety can be guaranteed. Montjuic Stadium remains the backup option for now, with a capacity of 50,300 seats.

Barça is negotiating with PSG regarding away fans' tickets, as the overall capacity remains similar between Camp Nou and the Olímpic. The partial opening of Camp Nou hinges on the completion of the lateral stand; if it remains unavailable, Barça would be forced to extend their stay at Montjuïc for Champions League matches until January or February. During the third week of September, Barça must announce its final decision to UEFA, which will apply for the entire group stage.
