Overview

  • LaLiga is expected to grant an exemption for the Johan Cruyff Stadium, with new VAR cameras and fibre installed to meet league requirements.
  • Barcelona are preparing to host Valencia at the 6,000-capacity ground, which could be played without fans due to the short ticketing window, according to talkSPORT.
  • Montjuïc is unavailable this weekend because of a concert, with plans to stage Getafe, Real Sociedad and potentially PSG there after Valencia, per Football España.
  • Cadena SER reporting indicates a September return to Camp Nou is highly unlikely, pushing any partial reopening toward after the October international break.
  • UEFA wants Barcelona’s Champions League home setup confirmed and prefers Camp Nou to be cleared before hosting PSG on October 1, with consistent venues required for knockout ties; prolonged displacement also curbs matchday revenue until full completion targeted for 2026/27.
