FC Barcelona finished the La Liga season with a home win over Real Betis at Spotify Camp Nou, achieving 19 wins in 19 home matches. Football will pause at the stadium until mid-August for the Joan Gamper Trophy, with no confirmed date or opponent, followed by the league season start. The long gap supports faster stadium construction. The third tier has been fully raised, with concrete work completed for weeks. Welding is underway, and the area will be waterproofed afterward, preceding seat installation. Construction will also intensify across Espai Barça, including the new museum and the “diamonds” in front of the Main Stand, one planned to host the new Spotify Camp Nou Store. The roadmap targets the third tier becoming operational in 2026-27, with phased occupancy beginning with side sections and parts of the South and North stands, and October noted internally for the first expansion phase.
"Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona played their final match of the season at the Spotify Camp Nou last Sunday against Real Betis, which they won to make it a record of 19 wins in 19 home matches in La Liga. Football will not return to the Spotify Camp Nou until mid-August with the Joan Gamper Trophy, which still has neither a confirmed date nor an opponent, followed by the start of the league season."
"It means more than three months without a match, something that will allow construction at Barcelona's stadium to accelerate significantly and potentially meet the next objectives established by the club, reports SPORT. The third tier of the stadium has already been fully raised and concrete work completed for several weeks. Welding work is currently being carried out, and afterwards the area will be waterproofed."
"This is the step before the installation of seats begins. Over the coming weeks, some of them will already start becoming visible. In fact, over the coming months there will also be acceleration not only in the third tier but across other parts of Espai Barča as well. For example, work will intensify on the new Museum and on the so-called "diamonds" located in front of the Main Stand. One of these spaces will house the new Spotify Camp Nou Store."
"Barcelona's roadmap indicates that during next season, 2026-27, the entire third tier could already become operational. Just like with the two lower levels, occupancy will take place in phases. The first phase will involve opening the side sections and part of both the South Stand and North Stand areas. The club does not want to provide specific dates because of delays that have occurred in the past, but October is marked on the internal calendar for this first stadium-capacity expansion."
