BARCELONA’S move to their new stadium has been delayed AGAIN.
Barca left the Nou Camp in 2023 and have since been playing at the Catalan city’s Olympic Stadium.
The legendary ground, which will be renamed the Spotify Camp Nou, is undergoing reconstruction that will see it hold a capacity of around 105,000 – the highest in Europe.
The Blaugrana were initially expected to return in time for the club’s 125th anniversary last November.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta then claimed the club would be back in the stadium by March.
According to ESPN, however, the Catalan giants have now informed fans the club will finish the season at the Olympic Stadium, where they will play all remaining LaLiga and Champions League matches.

The same source added the stadium’s roof will not be installed until summer of 2026.
