Marca: Camp Nou s renovation progress is not as expected, Barcelona has only 30,000 fans in the first two home games of the new season

August 6th According to the Marca report, the renovation of the Camp Nou Stadium is not as expected, and Barcelona's first home court may only allow 30,000 fans to enter the stadium in the new season.

Barcelona home stadium Camp Nou is under renovation, and some stands are still not completed. Barcelona originally planned to have 60,000 fans enter the first home game of the new season, but this is no longer possible now. Barcelona club has applied for admission to the first phase of the Camp Nou Stadium from the city government, hoping to allow 30,000 fans to watch the game at Camp Nou during the two La Liga games against Valencia on September 14 and Getafe on September 21. This means that only the lowest stand on the bottom and the stand behind one of the goals are open during the game.

Barca hopes that the number of fans at Camp Nou can increase to 45,000 from the third home game of the new season, and then gradually reaches 60,000 - this is also the number of fans that Barcelona originally planned to reach at the beginning of the new season. Le Marca said the Barcelona city government will make a decision on the matter next week.

In addition, Barcelona's first Champions League match in the new season will be held from September 16 to 18. Barcelona hopes that UEFA can arrange its first round of Champions League matches as away games, so as to avoid only 30,000 fans from the Camp Nou to watch the game in the Champions League. However, UEFA has not yet made a reply. Previously, La Liga officials had agreed to take care of Barcelona and arranged the first three rounds of the La Liga in the new season to be away.
