"Barcelona announce that the second match of the Champions League group stage, scheduled for Oct. 1 against Paris Saint-Germain, will be played at the Olympic Stadium," the club confirmed in a statement on Friday."
"The club continues to work intensively to obtain the necessary administrative permits for the opening of Spotify Camp Nou in the coming months."
"Barcelona would like to thank its members and fans for their understanding and support throughout such a complex and exciting process as the return to the new Spotify Camp Nou."
Barcelona have announced their Oct. 1 Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain will be played at the Olympic Stadium as uncertainty persists over a return to Spotify Camp Nou. Camp Nou is undergoing a €1.5 billion refurbishment and the club is seeking administrative permits to reopen the stadium in the coming months. Barça opened the LaLiga season at the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff and will host Getafe there; a potential return against Real Sociedad on Sept. 28 has not been ruled out. The club left Camp Nou in 2023, used the Olympic Stadium for the last two seasons and may extend that lease until February. UEFA regulations require group-stage matches to be played at the same stadium, though changes can be permitted in certain circumstances before the knockout rounds.
