Barcelona delay Camp Nou return yet again, check out the details | OneFootball

Barcelona announced this Tuesday that the match against Getafe, for the fifth round of the Spanish Championship, will be played at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. Thus, the return to Camp Nou has been postponed once again.

This will be Barcelona’s second consecutive match at the venue. Last Sunday, the Olympic Stadium of Montjuic was occupied due to a concert by singer Post Malone. Therefore, the match against Valencia was played at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, which has a capacity for only 6,000 fans and is used by the club’s B team, women’s team, and youth categories.

The clash against Getafe takes place this Sunday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). With ten points from four rounds, Barcelona is the runner-up in the Spanish Championship. On the other hand, Getafe sits in 5th place, with nine points.

“FC Barcelona thanks its members and fans for their understanding and support in such a complex and exciting process as the return to the new Spotify Camp Nou. The club will soon provide more details about the organization of the match and ticketing procedures,” Barcelona wrote in a statement.

Camp Nou Renovation

Camp Nou has been closed for renovations since May 2023. Due to construction delays and licensing issues, Barcelona’s return to the venue has been postponed several times. Since then, the team has been playing its matches at the Olympic Stadium of Montjuic.

“The Club continues to work intensively to obtain the necessary administrative authorizations for the opening of Spotify Camp Nou in the coming days. For this reason, the match will finally be held at the Johan Cruyff Stadium,” it announced.

Now, Barcelona hopes to have Camp Nou available for the match against Real Sociedad, for the seventh round of the Spanish Championship. The game is scheduled to take place on September 28, Sunday, at 4 p.m.

After that, the Catalan team will make its home debut in the Champions League, against Paris Saint-Germain, on October 1, Wednesday.
