Barcelona Moves Valencia Home Match to 6,000-Seat Johan Cruyff Stadium After Camp Nou Approval Delay

Safety delays plus event conflicts push Barcelona to a league-approved training-ground venue.

Overview

  • FC Barcelona confirmed it has not received the final authorization to use the refurbished Camp Nou, blocking a planned return.
  • The LaLiga fixture against Valencia on Sunday will be played at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, which holds roughly 6,000 spectators.
  • LaLiga has provisionally accepted the venue despite its limited capacity, with Barcelona responsible for ensuring full VAR capability on site.
  • The Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys is unavailable for the date because a Post Malone concert is scheduled shortly beforehand.
  • Officials note a phased Camp Nou reopening remains the goal, with an initial cap around 27,000 once clearance is granted.
