  • Barcelona has applied to the City Council for a first-occupancy license and environmental approvals but city hall warns those permits are not yet granted.
  • The club has requested LaLiga permission to play its first three league fixtures away to secure additional time to finish the stadium renovation.
  • UEFA emissaries have inspected provisional facilities ahead of the 2025-26 Champions League season and Barcelona plans a load-test event with press and invited guests.
