Barcelona receive licence for Spotify Camp Nou expansion in time for Sevilla clash | Barca Universal
"FC Barcelona has received the 1C license from the City Council allowing the club to open the first and second tiers of the Gol Nord (North Stand) at Spotify Camp Nou starting this Sunday, March 15, during the match against Sevilla. With this authorisation, the stadium's capacity will increase significantly - from the current 45,401 spectators to 62,657 seats."
"The city council raised more obstacles than initially anticipated, particularly regarding access and entry requirements, before granting permission to open the first two tiers of the North Stand. According to the club, these sections had already been fully completed for some time. Less than two weeks ago, Barcelona launched the process allowing club members to apply for season tickets tied to the expansion."
"This Sunday is expected to be a major day at the stadium. Alongside the match against Sevilla, Barcelona members will also vote in the club's presidential elections, choosing the leadership that will guide the institution for the next five years. The increase in stadium capacity is expected to encourage higher voter turnout, since more members will be present at the stadium."
Barcelona obtained the 1C license from the City Council to open the first and second tiers of the Gol Nord at Spotify Camp Nou beginning March 15 during the Sevilla match. This expansion increases stadium capacity to 62,657 seats, adding approximately 14,000 new seats. The approval process took longer than expected due to city council obstacles regarding access and entry requirements, though the sections were already completed. The timing coincides with Barcelona's presidential elections, where members will vote for leadership over the next five years. The expanded capacity is expected to boost voter turnout. The club may also reopen the Grada d'Animació supporters' section, though its permanent installation status remains uncertain.
