Overview

  • Barcelona still lacks the partial first-occupancy license from the City Council, which requires completion of subsurface work and first and second tier seating.
  • Activity and construction permits have been granted and fire brigade approval obtained, but safety and access checks remain pending for full spectator capacity.
  • With approval unlikely before August 8, the club plans to hold its August 10 Joan Gamper Trophy match at the 6,000-seat Johan Cruyff Stadium.
  • The club aims to reopen Spotify Camp Nou with 60,000 spectators for its LaLiga home match against Valencia on September 13–14 under provisional conditions.
  • Auditor Crowe must validate operation of 475 VIP seats accounting for €100 million in revenue to ensure financial fair play compliance.
