Barcelona's chaos resurfaces, this time marked by the vanished Camp Nou stadium.
FC Barcelona's first home game of the season against FC Valencia is in jeopardy due to ongoing construction at the Camp Nou. The revamped stadium, which has been under renovation for more than two years, still lacks final approval.
The Olympic Stadium, hosting a concert by Post Malone, is unavailable for the game. As a result, the commission of the city council will make a decision on the venue today after an inspection.
Advance planning for organization, such as ticket sales and security, is necessary regardless of the chosen venue. If the Camp Nou is unavailable, the smaller Johan Cruyff Stadium, with a capacity of only 6000 spectators, remains an alternative.
La Liga has provisionally accepted the Johan Cruyff Stadium as a venue, but Barcelona must ensure that all conditions are met to use VAR. If the final building permit for the Camp Nou is not issued in time, the Johan Cruyff Stadium could serve as an alternative.
FC Barcelona has already played three consecutive away games to avoid stadium issues. The team's impressive run includes a 3-0 victory at RCD Mallorca, a 3-2 win at UD Levante, and a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano. A fourth away game is not possible for the club.
The agreement between FC Barcelona and the city council involves a phased return to the Camp Nou in small stages. If the Camp Nou is chosen as the venue, the capacity will be limited to 27,000 spectators.
The most likely venue for the game is a special location due to the need for a special permit. The decision on the venue will be made today by a commission of the city council after an inspection.
FC Barcelona's fourth home game of the season will not be an away game, regardless of the chosen venue. The commission's decision today will determine whether the team will play in front of their home crowd at the Camp Nou or at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.
