Overview

  • FC Barcelona will host its men’s first team in the traditional Joan Gamper Trophy at Spotify Camp Nou on August 10, ending a two-year stint at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium.
  • Major elements of the £1.25 billion ‘Espai Barça’ overhaul remain incomplete, including the third tier, dual VIP ring, roof and surrounding urbanisation.
  • The stadium will reopen with approximately 60,000 seats available as only the two lower tiers are ready for spectators.
  • City council officials have not yet granted clearance for the partial reopening, flagging safety and logistical concerns over ongoing construction.
  • The club anticipates a boost in ticket revenue and has informed UEFA it plans to play Champions League home matches at Camp Nou from the 2025-26 season.
