"Barcelona have confirmed Camp Nou will not be ready to host Sunday's game against Getafe in LaLiga, forcing them to relocate their second match in a week. Barca last played at Camp Nou in May 2023, with the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys at Montjuic becoming their temporary home during a €1.5billion renovation. They were due to return to Camp Nou for last Sunday's meeting with Valencia, after playing their first three games of the season away from home."
"But they moved that match, which they won 6-0, to the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff - the home of their fourth-tier B team - after failing to get the necessary permits to host fixtures at Camp Nou. On Tuesday, Barca announced their next league game will also be played at the smaller venue, with the club still unable to get permission to host games at their iconic home."
Camp Nou will not be ready to host Sunday's LaLiga match against Getafe, so Barcelona must relocate the fixture. Barca last played at Camp Nou in May 2023 and moved home matches to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys at Montjuic during a €1.5billion renovation. Barcelona were scheduled to return for the Valencia match after three opening away fixtures but failed to obtain the necessary permits to host at Camp Nou. That Valencia game was relocated to the 6,000-capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff, where Barcelona won 6-0. The club confirmed the upcoming league game will also be played at the smaller venue.
