The seemingly never-ending Camp Nou return saga just got another twist, with Barcelona now pondering the possibility of waiting until November to return to their spiritual home.
According to various reports in Spain. the club could wait to make a return to the Camp Nou until both lateral grandstands are given the green light to host fans.
The original plan was for the first stage of the reopening was to host 27,000 fans by opening the Tribuna and Garda Sur (the first level stands behind the benches and the southern goal). By waiting until November, the lateral stand could also be ready, upping the stadium’s capacity to around 45,000.
After hosting their first two home games of the season at the 6,000 capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff, Barcelona returned to their home for the past two seasons at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and hosted close to 55,000 fans in the win vs. Real Sociedad. An even larger figure is expected for the home bout against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
