Barcelona had been hoping to be back in the Spotify Camp Nou, but delays mean that they will return to return next season. As such, the idea is that the first team is their remaining home games in the current campaign in the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company, which has been their home since summer 2023, their home.
Barcelona was initially planning to return to the Spotify Camp Nou in November 2024, but it soon became clear that this would not be possible. Then February 2025 was intended, but again, it was considered impossible due to delays in the construction work. And now it has been accepted that next season will be when Hansi Flick's side is back in their home stadium.
It was difficult for Barcelona to leave home, especially in a financial sense. MatchDay income for competitions at the Estadi Olimpic are very low compared to when the first team plays in the Spotify Camp Nou, so there is a big desire to be back as quickly as possible.
And according to Relo is the new idea that Barcelona returns home in September. They do not expect that they will receive approval to organize matches by the start of the season, so they ask La Liga to play their first few games of the 2025-26 campaign away from home, which would make extra time for everything that is ready and prepared.
Barcelona hopes to mark their return to the Spotify Camp Nou by playing the Joan Gamper trophy as his inaugural game. The competition usually acts as the season opener for the Catalan side, but it can now be postponed by a few weeks, because club officials want the iconic match to be played in their home stadium, instead of in the Estadi Olimpic for the third consecutive season.
