Barcelona Confirms PSG Champions League Home Match Will Be Played at Montjuïc on Oct. 1

Lack of municipal permits under UEFA rules prevents Camp Nou from hosting.

Overview

  • Club statement sets the PSG tie for Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, with UEFA’s website already listing the venue and Reuters noting a capacity of about 56,000.
  • Spotify Camp Nou still lacks completion certificates and city licenses, and the initial ~27,000‑seat phase would not satisfy UEFA’s group‑stage stadium criteria.
  • UEFA regulations generally require one home venue throughout the league phase, with limited scope to change before the knockout rounds.
  • Montjuïc is being readied after concert damage with a full pitch relay using turf shipped from Extremadura, plus work on seating, turnstiles, benches, goals and VAR installation.
  • Barcelona have been hosting LaLiga games at the 6,000‑seat Estadi Johan Cruyff; the club retains a contingency agreement to use Montjuïc through February and still targets a partial Camp Nou return for Real Sociedad on Sept. 28.
