Official: Barcelona will play Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League at Camp Nou | OneFootball

More good news for FC Barcelona as UEFA has granted them permission to play their remaining home matches of the Champions League group stage at the Spotify Camp Nou.

“FC Barcelona announces that the sixth match of the Champions League league phase, scheduled for Tuesday, December 9 at 9:00 p.m., against Eintracht Frankfurt, will be played at the Spotify Camp Nou,” the statement read.

“This decision comes after obtaining the first occupancy license for Phase 1B, which allows for an increased capacity and includes the entire Lateral area, adding to the already granted license for Phase 1A — covering the Main Stand and South Goal — and takes effect after UEFA accepted the request, considering that all necessary requirements have been met.”

Barcelona will be returning to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou on 22 November, with a La Liga game against Athletic Club.

But, doubts lingered over their return to the venue for the Champions League. However, UEFA has now green-lighted their return despite having played the first few home games of the campaign at Montjuic.

“FC Barcelona is pleased to be able to compete again at its stadium and to continue advancing in the comprehensive transformation project of the new Spotify Camp Nou,” the statement concluded.
