Overview
- FC Barcelona confirmed the Sept. 14 LaLiga match against Valencia will be played at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.
- Camp Nou remains shut without the Certificado Final de Obra and thus lacks the first‑occupation license, halting a planned reduced opening of about 27,000 seats.
- LaLiga conducted inspections and granted an exception to its usual capacity rule, with VAR positions, extra broadcast cameras and fiber connectivity installed at Johan Cruyff.
- Attendance will be restricted to Barça members via a lottery for roughly 6,000 seats, with no regular away allocation for Valencia supporters.
- Montjuïc is unavailable due to a Post Malone concert, and Barcelona says it is still seeking the municipal sign‑offs needed to reopen Camp Nou for upcoming fixtures.
