Overview

• Barcelona says the Camp Nou phase‑1A completion certificate is close but not fully signed, with fresh meetings held with city officials to keep a September 13–14 Valencia date alive for a 27,000‑seat reopening.
• Even with the CFO, the ECA electrical sign‑off, a municipal inspection, and safety reports from civil protection, fire services and municipal police are still required, a sequence that can take up to three weeks.
• Montjuïc cannot host the Valencia match because a Post Malone concert is set for September 12 and the venue then requires replanting the pitch.
• Montilivi is the leading fallback, yet Barcelona has not filed a formal request with LaLiga, which would need an agreement with Girona, a submission roughly eight days before the game and a league inspection; Girona plays away that weekend.
• LaLiga is not expected to approve flipping the fixture to Mestalla due to limits on consecutive away games, the Estadi Johan Cruyff is noncompliant on VAR and capacity, and UEFA has already allowed Barça to start the Champions League away while the club has Montjuïc reserved through February.
