UEFA Confirms Barcelona Will Host PSG at Montjuïc on Oct. 1 as Camp Nou Return Stalls

Without final certifications or licences, the partial stadium fails to meet UEFA standards for this match.

Overview

  • UEFA has designated Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys as the venue for Barcelona’s first home Champions League game against Paris Saint‑Germain on 1 October.
  • Work at Montjuïc is underway, including removal of concert protections, reinstallation of signage and outlets, and installation of a new natural‑grass surface reported to be arriving from Extremadura.
  • Barcelona is still awaiting a completion‑of‑works certificate from contractor Limak before it can seek a municipal licence to reopen Spotify Camp Nou.
  • Camp Nou’s initial Phase 1A setup allows roughly 27,000 spectators with lateral stands closed, a configuration that does not meet UEFA’s requirements for this competition.
  • The club has an agreement to use Montjuïc through February, and some local reporting suggests a Camp Nou return could slip to early 2026, which has not been officially confirmed.
