Overview
- A crowd of 21,795 attended the open training, Barcelona’s first session at Camp Nou since renovation work began over two years ago.
- Construction manager Joan Sentelles said the club is aiming to host Athletic Bilbao on November 22, framing it as a target date for competitive play to resume.
- Camp Nou remains an active construction site with the upper tier and the planned roof not yet completed.
- The club projects a phased reopening with around 62,000 seats available before year-end and a final capacity of about 105,000 once the project is finished.
- Barcelona have been playing home matches at Montjuïc during the delays, which have driven significant matchday revenue losses on a project estimated at roughly €1.5 billion.
