Los workers of the Camp Nou The current status of the works of the Barcelona Stadiumsome works that are at a very slow pace and that are light years of being able to host a football match, as the same wanted Barcelona. The idea of the culé entity was to return to Camp Nou for The Joan Gamper Trophy (scheduled for August 10), but that option closed already realized how the stadium is. Now the next date that Barcelona wants – and this is key – is that of the weekend of September 13 and 14when they will play the first Liga game at home.
In images filtered by workers from the works of Camp Nou to youtuber Ferran Barniol, you see the state of the interior stadium culé still with Much to build. There are loose cables, walls to finish and paint, rubble thrown by the floor, gaps that have no doors, the services that are still built, scaffolding still placed because they are in operation, garbage lying on the floor …
The images are not that they are precisely the most optimistic for the fans Culés, who see this can verify that the Camp Nou is not much less ready to house football matches. There is much to do yet and Barcelona has two months to condition everything that remains, since its first local game will be on September 13 or 14.
This date is important because the option is already appearing that if they do not arrive in mid -September with the Camp Nou ready (60% capacity, yes, but that was already planned), return to the Montjuic Olympicwhich would mean a total failure for Barça. In addition, if in the first Champions match – which has not yet been date – they have not arrived at Camp Nou, they will already have to play minimum until January in the Olympic.
It should be remembered that Barcelona announced that they would return to Camp Nou for the Joan Gamper trophy, but as you can check in these images filtered by the workers, the work has not been completed in the deadlines expected by the club and the licenses have not been achieved in time. So Barcelona He had to suspend the Gamper at Camp Noubut not Gamper himself, who will dispute him in the Johan Cruyff Stadium of its sports city, which only has capacity for 6,000 spectators.
Regarding these works, the League facilitated things to Barcelona by placing the first three days of the next league away from home, so the Catalans will play the first game at home on the weekend of September 13 and 14 (day 4), which allows them to have another month of margin to continue with the works of their stadium and thus be able to arrive in time to play at the Camp Nou in the League.
