Daily: Barcelona will get its first Camp Nou license today, and 27,000 spectators are expected to return to their home court
According to the "Daily Sports News" report, Barcelona's road to returning to home court has ushered in a turning point. The Barcelona City Council is expected to issue a use permit for Phase 1A of the Nou Camp renovation project today, which will mean allowing the team to return to the home court with a capacity of 27,000 spectators. The open areas include the main stand and the first two floors of the south stand. The club has fixed all the issues that were previously pointed out and received official approval from the city. In theory, Barca could open its stadiums now, but the club decided to wait a few more weeks to return with greater capacity.
Barcelona have been waiting for this news for weeks. The original plan was to obtain the permit in September, but due to problems found during multiple inspections, the club made rectifications one by one and finally passed it. Now that the project has been fully accelerated, the next step is to obtain the Phase 1B permit, which will allow the main stand, south stand and side stands to be used to accommodate approximately 45,000 spectators.
Barcelona Club believes that the new permit is expected to be obtained in mid-November, but the city government still needs to conduct several inspections to confirm safety. If all goes well, Barcelona is expected to officially return to Camp Nou on November 22 against Athletic Bilbao. However, the schedule may still be adjusted and needs to wait for UEFA's approval to allow changing home stadiums during the Champions League group stage.
According to the "Daily Sports News", the communication between Barcelona and the municipal government has been very smooth. All technical problems that have been pointed out previously have been completely resolved, and municipal experts have begun to gradually accept the stands. The club is full of confidence and believes that this time Barcelona is really only one step away from returning to the Nou Camp.
