US EditionFC Barcelona Officially Suspends Its Spotify Camp Nou Return
CATALONIA, SPAIN, JUL 20 – Barcelona's €1.25 billion Camp Nou renovation faces licensing delays, pushing the return to mid-September with reduced capacity of 50,000 to 60,000 spectators, officials said.
- FC Barcelona has postponed its intended inaugural match at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou, which was originally planned to take place during the Joan Gamper Trophy event scheduled for August 10, 2025.
- The suspension occurred because the club could not obtain the necessary first occupancy license due to incomplete works and regulatory requirements behind schedule.
- Barcelona is working closely with local authorities to address these issues but has not confirmed a new return date, and the Gamper Trophy will move to the Johan Cruyff stadium.
- The club planned to open Camp Nou in phases aiming for a partial reopening by August 2025, but delays now force them to consider alternative venues and potentially extend use of the Olympic Stadium.
- This delay may disappoint fans and sponsors who anticipated a prompt return, while the stadium’s complete reopening is still slated for the 2025–26 season.
