The last Barcelona Stadium News is that there has been a delay before the long-awaited return to the Nou camp.
The club has confirmed that they will play their first La Liga home match of the season against Valencia on the 6000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff.
The location, located on the Sant Joan Despí training base and usually reserved for Barcelona’s B team and women’s side, had to undergo urgent inspections this week before he received approval by La Liga.
Civil servants carried out checks for electricity, security access and connectivity, while new VAR cameras and Wi-Fi were installed to meet the competition requirements.
Why doesn’t Barcelona play in the well -camp?
The well -camp has undergone a redevelopment of € 1.5 billion (£ 1.3 billion), which will ultimately increase capacity to 105,000. However, the project has suffered repeated delays.
Barcelona initially focused on an opening of November 2023, later adapted at the start of this season with a reduced capacity of 27,000 seats.
Despite the fact that La Liga de Catalan giants their first three races to buy the time, the city council has not yet issued the required building certificate.
Barcelona Vice-President Elena Fort insisted that the “first phase has been completed” and that the club works to resolve bureaucratic problems as quickly as possible.

Barcelona vs Valencia: tickets and fan Impact
The last-minute switch led to frustration among supporters, with confirmation that arrived only five days before the kick-off.
Valencia fans are only assigned 290 tickets, while the Barcelona seasonal card holders will enter a voice on Friday to determine who can participate.
Valencia -wing player Diego Lopez criticized the uncertainty and called it ‘incredible’ that players and fans kept waiting to know the location for so long.
Spanish media have also accused Barcelona of poor communication and not to apologize to their opponents.
Where does Barcelona play the next home games?
Barcelona cannot guarantee that a well Camp will return for their next La Liga Home collision against Getafe on September 21.
A temporary comeback to the 55,000 capacity Montjuic Olympic Stadium, where they played the past two seasons, remains an option.
However, the Montjuic was not available this weekend due to a music concert, which led to the move to Estadi Johan Cruyff.
The club is mainly focused on hosting Paris Saint-Germain in the Nou Camp on October 1 in the Champions League.
UEFA rules require consistency in location selection during the competition, although Tottenham Hotspur were allowed to split games between Wembley and their new stadium in 2018-19.
Barcelona hopes to avoid that complication by obtaining approval for Camp Nou before the visit of PSG.
Well Camp Renovation NEW
Although there is frustration, Barcelona maintains that the Camp project is progressing well.
Once completed, the renewed stadium will transform the income from the competition day and restore the location as one of the Elite Stadiums of World Football.
For now, however, Xavi’s side will be confronted with an overcrowded luminaire list while shuffling among temporary houses, starting with Sunday’s game in Estadi Johan Cruyff.
