The return from Barcelona to the Nou -camp has been postponed again, where the club must now stay until 2026.
In the project, the capacity of the iconic stadium will be expanded to 105,000 higher than 99,354.
It would be completed on time for the 125th anniversary of the club last November.
However, there has been a new delay, according to the Spanish sports news site Relo, who report that the earliest return is now planned as October 2025.
This new delay follows an earlier push back to this month.
Relo also says that the roof of the stadium will only be installed in the summer of 2026.
The Blaugrana has been playing away from home since May 2023 and hold home games at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Company, with only 54,367 supporters.
As a result, Barcelona has been taken an important hit on the income of the matchday, so they did not help them rocky finances.
An article that was placed on the Barcelona website in October 2024 claimed that the return to the stadium was 'threatening'.
The dramatic rebuild has stripped the stadium, leaving only the concrete skeleton of the stadium as a foundation.
Barcelona plays in the iconic well -camp since it was opened in 1957.
Barcelona has invested £ 1.25 billion in the project, which has been set to turn the Nou -camp the largest stadium in Europe.
It will steal that title of the London Wembley Stadium that owns 90,652, and also hits the third place to third place.
Only six stadiums in Europe have a capacity of more than 80,000.
Although he has become the largest in Europe, Barcelona will not shoot at their original goal to create the third largest stadium in the world.
The rebuilding was initially intended to reach a capacity of 112,500, only smaller than the Rungrado 1 May Stadium in North Korea (113,281) and Narendra Modi Stadium in India (132,000).
Real Madrid recently opened a redeveloped Bernabeu that cost £ 1.5 billion with a capacity of 81,000.
But they are already planning to expand it as they want to organize the 2030 World Cup final.
