Overview

  • LaLiga approved a capacity exemption for the Johan Cruyff Stadium and required technical upgrades, including the installation of VAR cameras.
  • The Olympic Stadium at Montjuïc is unavailable this weekend due to a Post Malone concert, ruling out Barcelona’s usual temporary venue.
  • Barcelona said they are still pursuing the city’s authorization after failing to obtain permits for a reduced-capacity return targeted at around 27,000 seats.
  • The club will provide details on ticketing and match organization for the Johan Cruyff fixture, which can host only a small number of supporters.
  • Delays are denting matchday revenue and adding scheduling pressure with UEFA, which requires consistent home venues for knockout ties and is reported to want clarity before the Oct. 1 PSG visit.
