Barcelona Likely to Move Valencia Match to Johan Cruyff as Camp Nou Sign-Offs Lag

Outstanding permits keep the main stadium closed, leaving Johan Cruyff as the likely fallback pending a LaLiga waiver.

Overview

  • FC Barcelona still lacks the Certificado Final de Obra for phase 1A, so a licence of first occupation has not been issued for a partial reopening of the Camp Nou.
  • Even if the certificate arrives this week, the City Council, fire brigade, Guardia Urbana, Protecció Civil and insurers must complete safety inspections, a process that is not immediate.
  • LaLiga has inspected the Estadi Johan Cruyff and could grant an exception to its 8,000-seat minimum, enabling a crowd of about 6,000 once temporary VAR infrastructure is installed.
  • Montjuïc is unavailable for the 14 September fixture because the venue is booked for a Post Malone concert on 12 September.
  • The Guardia Urbana stopped unauthorized Sunday work and issued a roughly €300 fine to contractor Limak, as the mayor reaffirmed that technical safety criteria will determine reopening, and the club has reserved Montjuïc through February to cover European dates under UEFA rules.
