Barcelona Sets Nov. 7 Camp Nou Return for Open Training as Licensing Test

The session functions as a required operational test under the city’s phased licensing before any larger crowd is approved.

Overview

  • The club confirmed an open training at 11:00 CET on November 7, with gates at 9:30, limited to 23,000 seats in the Main Stand and Gol Sud under Phase 1A.
  • Barcelona says the event will test access, systems and operations as part of the stadium’s gradual reopening.
  • Reporting indicates the Phase 1B licence decision could arrive between November 12 and 15, potentially enabling a competitive return on November 22 against Athletic Club or on November 29 versus Alavés.
  • Until a higher-capacity licence is granted, home matches remain at Montjuïc, which the club views as more financially viable than playing at Phase 1A capacity.
  • Tickets for the training are priced at €5 for members and €10 for the general public, with phased capacities reported to rise to roughly 45,000, then about 60,000 later this season.
