Overview

• Barcelona’s planned August 10 Joan Gamper Trophy at Spotify Camp Nou was suspended after the club failed to secure the initial occupancy license under the Municipal Intervention Ordinance.
• The match has been relocated to the 6,000-seat Estadi Johan Cruyff, reducing expected capacity from the originally planned 20,000–30,000 spectators.
• Renovation works under the €1.25–1.5 billion Espai Barça project will continue through this season, with full completion now targeted for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.
• Barcelona has received permission to play its first three La Liga matches away, with the first tentative home fixture against Valencia scheduled for September 13 or 14 pending final approvals.
• The club is coordinating closely with Barcelona City Council and regulatory bodies to fulfill outstanding licensing requirements and will announce a revised reopening date once procedures are complete.
