In their last home game, FC Barcelona celebrated and presented their fans with the three titles they won this season on a day that also marked their farewell to Montjuic. After two years of construction, and although there is still work to be done, Barça returns home to Camp Nou for an exciting season in which Hansi Flick’s main objective is none other than to fight for the Champions League. Barcelona fans are happy and confident that next season the team will once again fight to reach the top of the Champions League and lift the trophy.
The Camp Nou has seen significant progress in recent weeks, with the installation of the turf and several tests of the LED lighting that will give the stadium a festive atmosphere. In addition, temporary floodlights have been installed to illuminate the pitch for the return home. Everything is more or less ready for the fans to once again cheer on their team at home.
Homecoming for Joan Gamper
A few days ago, Laporta revealed that the traditional Joan Gamper Trophy match would be the ideal setting for the stadium’s reopening. The president also clarified that Barça’s official return to their stadium for LaLiga matches could be delayed until the end of September. This is because a request had been made to play the first three games away from home. “The team will return to Camp Nou in September if there are no unforeseen circumstances,” said the Barça president.
The Joan Gamper Trophy is scheduled to be played between August 9 and 10, with the opponent still to be confirmed, although many are pointing to Cesc Fàbregas’ Como 1907. As for the capacity for that match, it is expected that the match will be played in front of at least 25,000 spectators. This is a smaller number compared to the 60,000 spectators expected to open the stadium in its first phase for the first matches of the competition.
Before the traditional match, a mock match will be held for which volunteers are being sought. This is to check the access and security arrangements in place before fans are allowed to attend major events.
Tickets for the Camp Nou
FC Barcelona has not yet put next season’s season tickets or tickets for the Joan Gamper match on sale, but they are expected to be available around two weeks before the match on the club’s official channels. Currently, the only tickets on sale are VIP seats at the Camp Nou.
The club is talking about “exclusive private boxes in the new VIP rings and a variety of premium seats in privileged locations, all with exclusive access to elegant hospitality rooms.” To get one of these exclusive seats, the club has provided fans with a phone number where they can make an appointment and get advice on the best choice for their needs.
