"However, the necessary permits have not yet arrived to facilitate a return, forcing the club to seek an alternative venue to host Valencia. Barça have spent the last two seasons playing at the Olympic Stadium in the Montjuic area of the city, but it is unavailable this week due to a Post Malone concert. Therefore, the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff, which is located next to their training ground on the outskirts of Barcelona, has been chosen to stage the game."
""The match against Valencia will not yet be able to take place at Spotify Camp Nou," Barça said Tuesday 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." Barça are in action against Getafe at home the following week, Sept. 21, and now face another race against time to have the stadium ready for that fixture."
Barcelona will stage Sunday's LaLiga match against Valencia at the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff as permits to reopen Spotify Camp Nou have not yet been granted. The club previously played home games at the Olympic Stadium but that venue is unavailable this week because of a Post Malone concert. Barcelona is working intensively to obtain the necessary administrative permits and aims to have Spotify Camp Nou ready for the following home fixture on Sept. 21 against Getafe. The Johan Cruyff stadium sits next to the training ground and hosts the women's and reserve teams, plus an upcoming Liga F game.
