The socios of FC Barcelona began to despair of one day see Camp Nou. In repair for more than two years, the Blaugrana stadium has seen its date of reopening being repeatedly pushed. From February to April 2025, then finally in the following season. But the 2025-2026 exercise started and Barça still does not play it. But UEFA has just made an unexpected announcement.
On its website, the leading European football body said on Tuesday that the match between FC Barcelona and Olympiakos, scheduled for October 21 and counting for the third day of the Champions League phase, would be competed in Camp Nou. But two reasons doubt such a possibility.
As indicated first MarcaUEFA requires that work be more advanced than those that the Liga is asking for the return of the public. It would be necessary to pass the capacity from 27,000 to 45,000 spectators, recalled the Spanish media. And the other reason is just as blocking since Barça was not officially authorized to compete in the C1 League phase in two different stadiums.
FC Barcelona made its request
According to the regulations, a club can only evolve in one and the same stage. And since he will receive PSG on Wednesday evening on the side of Montjuïc, he will have to obtain a special UEFA exemption if he wants to return to Camp Nou when receiving the Greeks from Olympiakos.
FC Barcelona has sent its request and hopes that the answer will be positive. Even if UEFA indicated that the match of October 21 will be played at Camp Nou, nothing allows to officially and definitively confirm that this will be the case. For the moment.
