Barcelona has requested an expansion of the use of the Lluis Company’s Olympic Stadium
The renovation of Barcelona’s famous home was hit by considerable delays. The plans to return before the end of 2024 were pushed back by February 2025, but recently it was announced that further setbacks could not return until the end of March.
The dilemma for Barcelona is that the UEFA rules of state clubs have to play all their home games in the same stadium in the KO -KO levels of the Champions League. It is unlikely that Camp Nou will be ready for the beginning of the 16th round at the beginning of March, but her temporary home was also fully booked for the Champions League data later in competition because Barcelona had not expected to be there for so long.
However, these other plans have now fallen, and Barcelona has now officially applied for the Lluis Company’s Olympic Stadium until the end of the season if Camp Nou is not ready in time.
“FC Barcelona will ask BSM to extend the occupancy and operation of the Estatia Olimpic Lluis Companys by May 20, although the goal of the club to play in the Spotify Camp Nou this season remains,” says it is said in a club declaration. “The club has learned that the reservation of the establishment of BSM is most likely not effective for a music event.
“Therefore, the non-confirmation of an event that the Olympic Ring has reserved opens up the possibility that FC Barcelona can play in the Olympic Stadium to the last La Liga match.
“The club would like to emphasize that the main goal is to play in the Spotify Camp Nou games at the end of the season, and the efforts are therefore intensified to achieve this goal.”
At first there was speculation that Barcelona’s hosting from Real Madrid for the second Clasico The season could be moved to Wembley, since it was apparently shot on May 10th and May 15th in the Olympic Stadium – the former will take place one day before the game.
