"It is said that Barcelona have already done their part. All the required documentation has been submitted to the City Council as part of the application for the 1C licence. This approval would authorise an increase in capacity from the current figure of just over 45,000 fans to 62,000, marking another important phase in the gradual reopening of the stadium following extensive renovation works."
"Once the City Council gives its approval, the entire ring formed by the first and second tiers will be fully operational. At present, that visual continuity is broken by the closed North Stand, known as Gol Nord, which remains empty during matches. Being able to play with both rings filled, creating a full 360-degree wall of supporters, would restore much of the unique atmosphere that has long defined Barcelona's home games."
"Barcelona are being deliberately cautious when it comes to timelines. The club do not want to commit to a specific match or date, largely because the final decision rests entirely with the City Council. That said, looking at the team's immediate fixture list, there is optimism around one potential date. The visit of Real Oviedo on January 25 stands out as a possible occasion when 62,000 fans could once again fill Spotify Camp Nou."
Barcelona await final approval from the Barcelona City Council to open the North Stand, which would increase Spotify Camp Nou capacity from just over 45,000 to 62,000. The club has submitted all required documentation for the 1C licence. Once approved, the first and second tiers will form a continuous ring, restoring the 360-degree atmosphere currently broken by the closed Gol Nord. The club is cautious on timelines and will not commit to specific dates because the decision rests with the City Council. The Real Oviedo match on January 25 is a possible occasion for the larger capacity, while the final renovation stage aims for about 105,000 next season.
