Overview
- Barcelona has submitted a Phase 1C application to the City Council to open the remaining parts of the first two tiers behind the Gol Nord.
- Camp Nou is currently licensed for about 46,000 seats under Phase 1B; approval would take capacity to roughly 62,000, a 16,000–17,000 increase.
- The club is targeting the first home game of 2026 against Real Oviedo for the expanded opening, with late January reported as the window and approval still pending.
- Construction has continued at pace through the Christmas period, with a run of away fixtures creating time to advance work without interrupting matches.
- Work on the third tier will carry into next season, with a planned final capacity of around 105,000 once the full renovation is complete.
