Barcelona Reveals When Camp Nou will Reopen and Sends Shockwaves Through Real Madrid and Europe
The 2024/25 season has been historic for FC Barcelona, reclaiming dominance in Spanish football by winning LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. This treble has reignited excitement among fans, who now dream of an even brighter future under Hansi Flick, whose contract has been extended until 2027.
The announcement was made by club president Joan Laporta during an interview with El Món a RAC1, where he highlighted not only the team’s sporting achievements but also the crucial role played by the German coach: “He’s brought competitiveness back to the team and created a family inside the locker room. He’s living one of the happiest moments of his career,” Laporta stated.
Flick, emotional after the title-clinching 2-0 win over Espanyol, dedicated the championship to the late doctor Carles Miñarro and emphasized the strength of the team spirit. Even tough decisions—like choosing Szczesny over Iñaki Peña—proved vital to solidifying the squad.

In addition to ensuring its sporting future with Flick in charge, Laporta shared one of the most anticipated pieces of news for Barça fans: the return to the Spotify Camp Nou is scheduled for September 2025, provided that construction work progresses as planned.
After temporarily relocating to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the club plans to ask LaLiga to schedule its first three matches of the next season away from home, allowing a return to Camp Nou after the September international break. The reopening will be partial, with a 60% capacity and only basic services available, as the third tier and full roofing will still be under construction. The stadium is expected to reach its full 105,000-seat capacity by mid-season 2026/27.
“The new Camp Nou will be a symbol of the club’s economic recovery and a turning point in our history,” Laporta declared—a message that can also be seen as a warning to rivals like Real Madrid, as their fiercest competitor prepares to return stronger than ever.
Finally, the president confirmed that Barça will be able to make moves in the upcoming summer transfer window if needed. Thanks to a 1:1 spending rule granted by LaLiga, the club has room to make significant signings, while continuing to prioritize homegrown talents like Pedri, Gavi, and Fermín, all of whom recently signed new contracts.
Barcelona’s future looks bright: with Flick in charge, the return to Camp Nou on the horizon, and financial muscle for reinforcements, the club is ready to make its voice heard again across Europe.
