Everything will depend on the results of the upcoming inspection.

Details: According to renowned insider and journalist Roger Torelló, the Catalonia City Council has received new documents from Barcelona, which, if approved, would allow the team to return to Camp Nou for upcoming matches.

Reports say that if the documents are approved, Barcelona will initially be granted permission to host 45,000 fans, with the allowed capacity to increase over time.

Later this week, the city authorities will carry out an inspection at Camp Nou, which will deliver the final verdict on whether the stadium is ready to host La Liga matches.

The last time Barcelona played at Camp Nou was in 2023, after which the stadium was closed for renovations. The club initially expected to return much earlier, but delays with paperwork forced them to postpone their homecoming.

Barcelona's next La Liga fixture is scheduled for November 22 against Athletic Bilbao.
