This time, is it the right one? Two years after the start of work, Barça finally sees the end of the “Camp Nou” series. Even if this is not the first time that a return date has been announced by the Spanish press, it seems that FC Barcelona has never been so close to returning to its enclosure.
According to information from Catalunya Radio confirmed by the Catalan media Mundo DeportivoBarcelona City Hall granted the first occupancy permit for the project to the Blaugrana this Friday, October 17. In other words, the club can now accommodate 27,000 spectators in the two main stands of its stadium. But despite this authorization, Barça is procrastinating.
A fixed return date
Indeed, if this first permission is synonymous with victory in Catalonia, it is not sufficient. An opening to 27,000 seats for supporters would not be economically viable for FC Barcelona, which prefers to wait to obtain new authorizations and thus increase the capacity to 45,000 seats by November. While waiting for the negotiations to be successful, the club led by Joan Laporta will remain in Montjuïc, specifies Mundo Deportivo.
