Barcelona havee been give a major boost towards their efforts to hold the Joan Gamper trophy back at Camp Nou for the first time since renovation work began on the 10th of August. The game will not only speed up their return, but could have a major impact on their salary limit situation.
The Blaugrana are hoping to play Italian side Como in the Gamper trophy, which is usually a test run for the team, but this time will be a test run for the stadium They had initially hoped to host 60,000 fans, but that number could be dropped amid concern over delays in the construction.
According to MD, Barcelona have been granted a licence for activities and construction. This is the first of two council licences that the Blaugrana need to be able to host the Gamper trophy at Camp Nou.
The second that the require is the licence for ‘first entrance’. That will be granted once the necessary construction for the game to take place at Camp Nou is completed.
