Official: Barcelona expect green light for Camp Nou capacity increase in early March | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have issued an official statement confirming that they expect to receive the green light to open the Gol Nord stand and further increase the capacity at the Spotify Camp Nou at the beginning of March.

“FC Barcelona informs that, once the approval of phase 1C of the Spotify Camp Nou, corresponding to the North Goal, is obtained from the Barcelona City Council, the Club will allocate 100% of the increased capacity planned in this new stage of progressive opening of the Stadium to season ticket holders.”

“The Club is awaiting final authorization from the City Council to activate phase 1C, an approval that is expected to be obtained as soon as possible, at the beginning of March.”

The early expectations were for the City Council to grant the licence corresponding to Phase 1C of the redevelopment project by January, but it was delayed to this month.

This weekend’s game against Levante had been pencilled in as a possible date for the opening of the stand, which would see the capacity increase to 62,000+.

However, delays in the City Council issuing the licence means Barcelona will have to wait until early March.

“This phase includes approximately 14,000 new seats, which will be allocated primarily to Barcelona supporters. If the return to the stadium takes place at the beginning of March, the expected price of these season tickets will be between €160 and €264, depending on the location.”
