Barcelona has finally received some positive news in their attempt to return to Camp Nou. Their renovation work has been delayed several times, but the Blaugrana has been given a lifeline in their attempt to partially reopen Camp Nou for their first home game in the weekend of 14 September.
The Catalan giants still have to apply for a permit from the Barcelona city council to reopen Camp Nou, and had played instead with the idea of ​​asking La Liga to play their matchday match against Valencia in Mestalla instead. La Liga has decided that their collision will be a home game for Barcelona, ​​with Estadi Johan Cruyff and Girona's Montilivi who are considered alternatives when it is not ready on time. Montjuic is not available that weekend due to a concert on Friday, but the Blaugrana has reserved the use of the stadium until February.
Barcelona plans to reopen Camp Nou this season in three phases: first with 27,000 fans (1A), then with 45,000 fans (1B), and then with 60,000 fans, while they want to continue to work on their third level. RAC1 report that Barcelona has now received the vital certificate of completion certificate from constructors Limak for phase 1a and transferred it to the city council.
The Council has now planned an inspection for Tuesday, and they will hope to get the opening license with which they can organize events in Camp Nou.
