FC Barcelona is poised to make a triumphant return to its iconic Spotify Camp Nou, as the club targets a specific September fixture.
The Blaugrana have been playing their home matches at Estadi Johan Cruyff due to ongoing renovations, with their recent 6-0 thrashing of Valencia showcasing their form despite the temporary venue.
Licensing issues have thwarted efforts to return to Camp Nou for the Valencia match, and the upcoming Getafe clash is also set to take place at Estadi Johan Cruyff.
However, the club is now pushing hard to bring fans back to their historic stadium, with a clear target in sight.
According to El Chiringuito TV, Barcelona are eyeing their La Liga Matchweek 7 fixture against Real Sociedad on September 28 as the date for their Spotify Camp Nou return.
The club has submitted the necessary documentation to the City Council to secure the First Occupancy Licence, which would allow a partial reopening with a reduced capacity of 27,000 fans.
This move marks a significant step toward bringing the Blaugrana back to their spiritual home after multiple delays.
The match against the Basque side could be a landmark moment, potentially followed by their UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, pending UEFA’s additional requirements.
The prospect of returning to Camp Nou has galvanized the club and its supporters, who have eagerly awaited the completion of the renovation project.
While challenges remain, including meeting regulatory standards, Barcelona’s proactive approach in submitting paperwork signals confidence in meeting the September 28 deadline.
A successful return would not only boost team morale but also rekindle the electric atmosphere that defines Camp Nou.
As Hansi Flick’s side continues to impress on the pitch, the anticipated homecoming against Real Sociedad promises to be a defining moment in Barcelona’s 2025/26 campaign, blending tradition with a renewed sense of ambition.
