Overview

• FC Barcelona announced the Oct. 1 home game against Paris Saint‑Germain will be played at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, a decision already reflected on UEFA’s fixture listing.
• Camp Nou’s partial reopening remains stalled without the contractor’s final completion certificate and the city’s first‑occupancy licence, and the 27,000‑seat setup does not satisfy UEFA requirements.
• Stadium operations at Montjuïc are being readied for the match, including a new playing surface after a Post Malone concert, additional seating and turnstiles, team-area equipment, VAR installation, and updated signage.
• LaLiga matches have been staged at the 6,000‑capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff, with local reporting indicating the late‑September Real Sociedad fixture is likely to shift to Montjuïc.
• UEFA generally expects one home venue for the league phase with changes typically allowed before the knockouts, and Barcelona retains the option to keep using Montjuïc through February.
