Overview
- Barcelona will host Athletic Club on Nov. 22 in their first competitive match at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou since 2023 after securing the Phase 1B occupancy licence.
- Phase 1B opens the Lateral stand alongside the Tribune and South Goal, with Phase 1C works continuing to prepare the North Goal for future use.
- Away-fan tickets for Athletic supporters have been withheld due to temporary safety and access limitations that the clubs say prevent secure separation.
- UEFA clearance to stage the Dec. 9 Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou remains pending.
- A 23,000-fan open training served as the test event earlier this month, as ticket pricing for the reopening — reported from €199 to €589 — drew strong criticism, and Lamine Yamal’s availability is uncertain following a recent medical procedure.
