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

A missing city certificate to occupy the rebuilt stadium forced a switch to the Johan Cruyff ground under a LaLiga waiver.

Overview

  • LaLiga granted an exceptional exemption for the training-ground venue after inspectors demanded technical upgrades, including VAR camera and fiber installations.
  • Barcelona has yet to receive the required municipal permits to partially reopen Camp Nou, scuppering plans for an initial 27,000-seat return.
  • The Olympic Stadium at Montjuïc, last season’s fallback home, is unavailable this weekend due to a Post Malone concert.
  • Attendance will be severely limited with priority for club members, and Valencia supporter groups condemned the late decision and the minimal allocation.
  • Vice-president Elena Fort said authorisation could come soon but offered no guarantee for the Getafe fixture, with UEFA venue deadlines for the Oct. 1 PSG match drawing near.
