Return to Camp Nou confirmed? Barça fixture sparks confusion | OneFootball

The Champions League match of the third matchday between Barça and Olympiacos will be played at Camp Nou on October 21. At least, that is what UEFA has announced on its website.

The inclusion of the stadium in the Champions League schedule contradicts the lack of official confirmation from the club regarding its return to the stadium.

In fact, there isn't even a confirmed venue for the LaLiga match Barça-Girona, scheduled for October 18.

The city council is confident that the match can be played at Camp Nou, after security measures have been implemented that would allow a partial opening of the stadium for 45,000 spectators. However, nothing has been officially announced yet.

In order to play Champions League matches at Camp Nou, the Catalans also need a special permit from UEFA, since the regulations prohibit playing in two different stadiums during the group stage. So far, this permit has not been officially granted either.
