Barcelona has received city council approval to host 27,000 fans at the Camp Nou. This marks the first occupancy phase for the historic stadium. Despite this favorable development, the club has opted to stay at the Montjuic stadium.
Barcelona’s Decision on Camp Nou Return
The club’s leadership is prioritizing financial stability in their decision-making. They have decided to postpone their return to the Camp Nou, even with official approval in place.
Reasons for Staying at Montjuic
- Financial Considerations: The club is focusing on ensuring financial safety before committing to a full return.
- Capacity Factors: Barcelona is awaiting clearance for a larger capacity at the Camp Nou before moving back.
While the approved capacity could allow for a significant number of fans, the management believes that waiting could lead to better outcomes for the team. Fans remain hopeful for a future filled with matches at their rightful home.
