Barcelona are counting down the days until they return home to the Spotify Camp Nou, but they will have to wait a little while longer for their first match back at the iconic stadium.
It has been over two years since Barcelona left their home due to it being rebuilt, with them temporarily moving to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Montjuic. But they will return during the 2025-26 season, with the only unknown being exactly when that time will come.
Originally, the plan was to be back in September for the first La Liga home match of the season, but last month, Barcelona announced their intention to play their debut fixture at the rebuilt arena in August – specifically, the Joan Gamper Trophy, which will be against Serie A side Como.
But this will no longer happen, with Sport reporting that the Joan Gamper Trophy will now expected to be played at the Estadi Johan Cruyff. Barcelona will confirm this via an official statement, which is due to be published on Friday.
Up until last week, Barcelona were confident of returning to the Spotify Camp Nou next month, but after discussions with the Barcelona City Council, it became aware that their dream would not be possible. They will explain the reasons for the decision in the coming days, with the possibility for a press conference to be held on Monday.
As per the report, Barcelona are still confident that Hansi Flick’s side will be able to play their first home match of the season at the Spotify Camp Nou. Valencia are due to face the reigning La Liga champions on the weekend of the 13th/14th of September, and there is a belief that this will see the grand return to the iconic stadium.

We don’t want to hear any stadium disaster, just allow them to work and work well without rushing them.

I don’t know why this people want to rush back, give this people time to work and stop rushing them. There’s nothing wrong if they can still continue with same stadium, then move back to camp nou by January, i just hope they don’t rush the contractors to make mistakes. they are just embarrassing themselves with all this news.
yeah you are right but Mr president himself is looking way round to surf the economic issues on ground and returning back will Barcelona wings to fly over one on one rules

As a Barca fan, I love this news Let the people finish building and so we can move back in
As a Barca fan we should honestly be disappointed by the constant lies from Laporte and Deco. They will just give us another fake return date. they have been lying to us all about transfers, our finances, Messi staying etc etc. Thank God for Hansi who worked magic with kids he was forced to rely on.

That's not the main problem. it's not the fans pressuring. it's the president that comes out every time and lie to the Barca fans. lied about Messi staying, lied about transfers, constantly lying about the stadium reopening, lying about our financial situation saying we are not in crisis and there's money to buy and register players. Laporte is just full of lies,there's nothing he says which I take serious. take God for Hansi, he worked magic with the no signigs and had to rely on kids.

It would have been lovely to see him don the new NO 10 jersey at the new revamped Camp Nou but it is what it is thou, this is what mismanagement brings and I hope BARCELONA can bounce back from this, the future looks bright with La Masia thou
