BARCELONA’S highly-anticipated return to the Nou Camp has been delayed AGAIN. Barca left their famous stadium in 2023 and have since been playing at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium.

Barcelona still haven't obtained the green light from the city council to host games at the renovated Camp Nou.

Barcelona may miss its August return to Camp Nou, with the Joan Gamper Trophy and early fixtures at risk due to construction delays and safety checks.

For months, Barcelona's board, led by vice president Elena Fort, has hinted at the idea of bringing Messi back to the stadium where he became a legend. The goal is to organize a special match to honor him during the full reopening of the new Camp Nou. However, there is still no confirmed date or direct contact with the player's camp.

Barcelona are aiming to make Lionel Messi the centrepiece of a special ceremony planned for the reopening of the newly renovated Camp Nou.
