BarçaValencia Moved to Johan Cruyff as Camp Nou Permits Stall

A missing final works certificate has kept Camp Nou closed, prompting LaLiga to allow the 6,000‑seat Johan Cruyff to host the game.

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.
