UEFA Lists BarçaOlympiakos at Camp Nou on Oct. 21 as City Weighs Reopening

Formal clearance remains pending despite hopes for an Oct. 18 test.

Overview

  • UEFA’s website now shows Barcelona’s Oct. 21 Champions League match against Olympiakos at the Spotify Camp Nou.
  • This week’s home game versus PSG is listed for the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Montjuïc), according to UEFA’s fixture page.
  • Barcelona has not received a first-occupancy license from municipal authorities, and the club has issued no official reopening confirmation.
  • Deputy mayor Albert Batlle said he expects “small problems” to be resolved to allow a partial reopening targeted for Oct. 18 against Girona.
  • UEFA would need to approve any group-stage venue split and verify hosting standards such as away-fan segregation and TV sightlines, with reports indicating the second lateral must open to lift capacity from roughly 27,000 to about 45,000.
