""This decision comes after obtaining the first occupancy license for Phase 1B, which allows for an increased capacity and includes the entire Lateral area, adding to the already granted license for Phase 1A - covering the Main Stand and South Goal - and takes effect after UEFA accepted the request, considering that all necessary requirements have been met." Barcelona will be returning to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou on 22 November, with a La Liga game against Athletic Club."
"But, doubts lingered over their return to the venue for the Champions League. However, UEFA has now green-lighted their return despite having played the first few home games of the campaign at Montjuic. "FC Barcelona is pleased to be able to compete again at its stadium and to continue advancing in the comprehensive transformation project of the new Spotify Camp Nou," the statement concluded."
UEFA granted permission for FC Barcelona to play a remaining Champions League group-stage home match at the Spotify Camp Nou following approval of the Phase 1B occupancy license. Phase 1B raises capacity by including the entire Lateral area and complements the previously granted Phase 1A license covering the Main Stand and South Goal. UEFA accepted the club's request after confirming that all necessary requirements were met. Barcelona will return to the stadium for a La Liga match on 22 November and will host Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on 9 December. The club had played earlier home fixtures at Montjuic during renovation works.
