Overview
- UEFA granted an exemption from its same-stadium rule, allowing Barcelona to stage the December 9 group match against Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou with roughly 45,000 tickets.
- Saturday’s LaLiga return against Athletic Bilbao will be the first game back at the venue, capped at 45,401 spectators.
- The rollout of the Grada d’Animació is postponed until the stadium can host around 62,000 fans, a threshold targeted for early 2026.
- Ticketing remains provisional until the renovation is finished in 2027, with higher prices reported, including a €199 cheapest seat for the Bilbao match.
- The Espai Barça project is financed with €1.45 billion from multiple investors as the heavily indebted club continues the multi-year overhaul.
