Why Is Barcelona vs Valencia Being Played at the Johan Cruyff Stadium and when Will Camp Nou Reopen?

Due to €1.25 billion renovations and permit delays, FC Barcelona will host Valencia at the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff, limiting fan attendance significantly.

  • FC Barcelona will play their LaLiga Matchday 4 home game against Valencia on September 14, 2025, at the Estadi Johan Cruyff in Catalonia.
  • The match was moved to the smaller Johan Cruyff Stadium after Barcelona failed to secure necessary permits from the city council to reopen the renovated Spotify Camp Nou stadium.
  • The Johan Cruyff Stadium, located at Barcelona’s training facility and seating 6,000 spectators, underwent required modifications to comply with LaLiga’s technical and broadcasting requirements before hosting the match.
  • Barcelona has 10 points from four games and sits second in LaLiga, while Valencia remains 15th; veteran striker Robert Lewandowski scored the fifth goal in the 76th minute of the match.
  • Barcelona continues working to obtain administrative permits for the full reopening of Spotify Camp Nou, expected no earlier than June 2026, which delays fans’ return to the club’s main stadium.
