Work at Camp Nou is still not complete, but FC Barcelona could still play at the venue starting September 14, when they host Valencia in La Liga (Matchday 4).
The stadium would only be partially open by then, to accommodate 27,000 spectators.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club has obtained approval from Barcelona City Council to modify the stadium’s construction and activity permit to allow them to play with a reduced capacity starting mid-September.
Per the Catalan newspaper, Barcelona will break the reopening process of Camp Nou into several phases. The club will initially open the south section and the presidential stand to accommodate 27,000 people, then add the side section (45,000 seats in total) and the north section (60,000).
In the second phase, the Camp Nou will open the upper sections, which are still under construction, to reach a full capacity of 105,000 seaters. The subdivision of the first phase should allow Barça to play in their home ground from mid-September, in front of 27,000 spectators.
