The next setback: the return to Camp Nou fails again. The city will continue to grant FC Barcelona no approval. The security concerns of the authorities are still too great.
Camp Nou: Security concerns remain too big
The next cancellation! After a number of appointments, FC Barcelona is still not allowed to play its home games at Camp Nou. The green light from the city of Barcelona, which met with various security authorities on Tuesday, is still missing. Result: It is still not enough. Too big the security concerns. This was announced on Tuesday evening with Laia Bonet the deputy mayor of Barcelona in a press conference.
And that despite the fact that the Spanish League Association LFP and the European Football Association UEFA have apparently agreed with a comeback into the legendary home, which has been extensively rebuilt since the summer of 2023. President Joan Laporta on Monday: “Laliga and UEFA told us that the stadium was ready.”
But it doesn’t work even with a return to the Laliga home game on Sunday against Real Sociedad (6:30 p.m.). And now? This means that the blue granula in front of the home setting for the first time is in the Estati Olímpic Lluís Companys. Officially, the association and the UEFA had already been reported that Barça will receive Paris Saint-Germain there in the Champions League on October 1st. Elena Fort, the institutional vice president and club spokeswoman, only said on Tuesday in a media round: “We are now focusing on being able to return on Sunday. If not, we have prepared the Olympic Stadium.”
After the beginning of the elaborate modernization and moving out in the summer of 2023, Barça originally planned to return to Camp Nou with a capacity of around 60,000 in November 2024. Nothing came of it, nor did it work in mid -December 2024, at the end of January 2025, in early February 2025 and in August 2025. And also in September.
