[Saba Sports News] La Liga club Barcelona has been eager to return to the newly renovated Camp Nou for matches, but delays in the stadium’s construction progress have persisted. According to the latest reports from Spanish media, unless there is significant progress in the construction of the new Camp Nou in the coming days, Barcelona will continue to play at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The renovation of the new Camp Nou is not yet complete, and the club has not obtained the final compliance certificate for the project, preventing timely use of the new stadium. Internally, Barcelona considers the most realistic scenario to be inaugurating the new Camp Nou on September 28 for the match against Real Sociedad. The editor believes that playing at the Johan Cruyff Stadium will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in ticket and related commercial revenue, dealing a considerable blow to the club’s financial situation. The club had originally hoped to increase income through operations at the Camp Nou to help repay debts. For fans, the Camp Nou holds countless memories and emotions, and not being able to watch matches at the new Camp Nou may disappoint some supporters.
