The return to Spotify Camp Nou is getting closer. Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, confirmed on TV3 that the team will return to their renovated stadium at the start of the next season. This announcement has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to enjoy the iconic stadium again.
A rehearsal before the big return
Before the official return, the club will conduct a match rehearsal at the stadium. This event, scheduled before the Joan Gamper Trophy, will serve to assess access and other logistical aspects.
The goal is to ensure everything is ready for Barcelona's reappearance at their home in time for the start of the season.
Works in progress
At the end of April, the installation of the field was completed, an important milestone in the stadium's renovation. Additionally, lighting tests have been conducted with the new LED lights that will illuminate Spotify Camp Nou.
In recent days, spotlights have been placed in the stadium's second tier, although these are temporary. When the works are finished, the spotlights will be moved to the third tier, where they will be permanently located.
The evacuation of Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys
At the beginning of last week, the evacuation of Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, FC Barcelona's temporary home during the works, began. This move is another step toward the return to Camp Nou, and the relocation indicates that everything is ready for the comeback. The fans already feel that the wait is about to end.
The Joan Gamper Trophy as a starting point
Laporta also indicated that the intention is to play the Joan Gamper Trophy at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou. This event, traditionally the first of the season, will mark Barcelona's official return to the stadium after several seasons of works.
However, the first official match will not be played at home immediately. The club plans to request LaLiga to play the first rounds of the championship away, to gain time while the final phases of the renovation are completed.
Optimism and expectations
With the return to Spotify Camp Nou just around the corner, optimism is in the air. Barcelona fans can't wait to see their team play in their renovated stadium, a place where they have experienced so much joy over the years. The excitement grows every day, especially with a team that has renewed the fans' hopes with their spectacular soccer.
FC Barcelona is preparing the return to their stadium like never before, and fans can rest assured: the dream of returning to Camp Nou will come true very soon.
