Barcelona’s return to the Nou Camp has been further delayed after the city council turned down their request for an essential permit on Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The La Liga champions were hoping to host Real Sociedad in the league on Sunday with a reduced capacity of 27,000.<\/p>\n

Instead, the fixture will be at the 55,000-seater Olympic Stadium on the city’s Montjuic hill, where Barca have played for the previous two seasons during the renovation work. <\/p>\n

The club thanked members and supporters, external<\/span><\/a> “for their understanding and support during such a complex and exciting process”, and said they were working on the amendments given by the council. <\/p>\n

Barcelona have played their two home games against Valencia and Getafe at the much smaller 6,000-capacity Johan Cryuff Stadium, home to their women’s team. <\/p>\n

The city’s fire department said there were problems with evacuation routes, among other safety issues.<\/p>\n

However, the Barca’s operations director Joan Sentelles told reporters during a tour of the stadium on Tuesday: “Just because it’s not finished, doesn’t mean it’s not safe.” <\/p>\n

Sentelles also said the roof will be put on the stadium in the summer of 2027, a year later than originally planned. <\/p>\n

Work on the Nou Camp began in June 2023, at a cost of about \u00a31.1bn, with the goal of modernising the stadium and expanding its capacity to 105,000 – making it one of the largest grounds in the world. <\/p>\n

The plan was to be back playing games there in November 2024, to coincide with the club’s 125th anniversary, but that target has long since passed. <\/p>\n

Laia Bonet, Barcelona’s deputy mayor, said the city council must guarantee the safety of everyone who wants to go to the stadium. “This is the priority,” she added. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
