After the Champions League defeat of 2-1 by PSG, Barcelona have issued a statement saying that their home stadium of Camp Nou won’t be available for their next Champions League game against Olympiacos.
The Catalan giants had been hoping to gain a permit from the city council in time for the third game of their European campaign on October 21st, but instead that match will be played at the Olympic Stadium.
“The club is continuing to work to obtain the necessary administrative permits for the opening of the Camp Nou in the coming days,” Barca said.

More than two years since the start of renovation works, the famous stadium is still not ready to host matches, even with a reduced capacity. The final capacity of the Camp Nou is expected to be 105,000.
The grand opening was originally slated for November 2024, but the project has been hit by several delays.
Furthermore, we have been told that the city’s fire department said there are still problems with evacuation routes, among other safety issues.
Hansi Flick’s side played away for the first three weeks of the LaLiga season to provide time to get the stadium ready to be reopened.
In conclusion, we shall give you updates when the Barcelona stadium is ready to host matches; keep visiting our website.
