15 hours agoWhy is Barcelona's first home game not at Nou Camp?
Barcelona will start a home fixture at the 6,000‑seat Johan Cruyff Stadium because the renovated Nou Camp lacks final permits to reopen.
The club had been given permission to play their first three fixtures away from home in order to complete the first phase of construction work at their stadium, and that was followed by the international break. But they were still unable to fulfil the requirements needed to get the permits in time, leaving a public deadline unmet for the third time having originally set an opening date of November 2024.
