[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Barcelona is set to return to the Camp Nou stadium. The club is preparing to obtain the final completion certificate and submit it to the Barcelona City Council. Subsequently, the municipal office will inspect the stadium and decide whether to grant Barcelona the initial usage permit. Preparations to announce the official return may already be underway. This past Friday local time, a rather surreal photo circulated online. In the photo, Barcelona president Joan Laporta is lying on his back on the grass in the center of the pitch. Nearby were several photographers and a staff member responsible for the club’s social media, likely for promotional material related to the team’s return to their home stadium after receiving the necessary permits for the relevant areas. Regardless, the image of Laporta in his suit lying on the grass demonstrates his dedication to the club and his love and passion for the team’s colors. After decades of delays, this leader boldly took on the task of renovating the stadium amidst the club’s poor financial situation, which will be one of the reasons he is remembered.
