"The 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff, which borders their training ground on the edge of Barcelona, will instead host the Valencia match on Sunday. This venue is also the home to the Blaugrana's women's side, who are due to play at the ground on Friday when they face Logrono, and the men's reverse team."
"Barca left the Camp Nou in 2023 to increase the capacity to over 100,000 and originally planned to return last November with a capped crowd of approximately 50,000. However, these plans were pushed back and the club has spent the last two seasons playing at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic, which is unavailable this week due to a Post Malone concert."
"The match against Valencia will not yet be able to take place at the Spotify Camp Nou," Barcelona said in a statement."
"The club is working intensively to obtain the necessary administrative permits for the opening of Spotify Camp Nou in the coming weeks."
Barcelona will play their LaLiga home fixture against Valencia at the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff because the necessary administrative permits to reopen the Spotify Camp Nou have not been issued. Attendance for the Valencia match will be reserved exclusively for club members. The club vacated Camp Nou in 2023 for an expansion to over 100,000 and had planned a partial return last November, but those plans were delayed. Barcelona has used the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic for home games, which is unavailable this week due to a Post Malone concert. Hansi Flick's side remain unbeaten in the league so far.
