While initially the FC Barcelona stadium had to reopen for the start of the season in Liga, since there have been a lot of twists and turns. Indeed, Camp Nou is experiencing delays in its reopening due to gaps in construction works. According to Rac1defects persist in particular in the gallery and the southern goal area, compromising security. This part of the stadium, which must accommodate around 27,000 spectators for the match against Valence, can only open after correction of the problems and obtain the final construction certificate issued by the town hall of Barcelona.

The club confirmed that it will take a few more days to finalize this certificate, which must be signed by the contracting authority, the company designated for the work and Barça. Despite this tight calendar, the club remains confident to be able to welcome its supporters from the weekend of September 13 or 14, while respecting the deadline of August 28 to inform UEFA concerning the Champions League dam matches.
