Barcelona Returns to Camp Nou This Weekend With 45,000 Fans Approved

UEFA must still sign off before European fixtures return to the venue.

Overview

  • Hansi Flick’s side will host Athletic Bilbao on Saturday at 16:15 in the partially reopened stadium.
  • Barcelona aims to stage the December 9 Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou, with confirmation from UEFA still pending.
  • Construction continues on the upper tier and the roof, with capacity targeted to rise to about 62,000 before year-end and to roughly 105,000 once the project is complete.
  • The long-delayed modernization is reported to cost around €1.5 billion and has led to significant revenue shortfalls for the club.
  • Before this return, Barcelona played home matches at Montjuïc after their last pre-renovation game at Camp Nou in May 2023, and a public training on November 7 drew 21,795 spectators.
