Daily Sports reported that the Barcelona Club announced this afternoon that the Gambel Cup, which was originally scheduled to be held on August 10, will not be held at the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium as scheduled for failure to obtain the first use permit from the Barcelona city government. The club said they are working hard to return to home on the weekend of September 13-14, the fourth round of La Liga match against Valencia. But at the same time, the club also admitted that it was preparing an alternative in case the licensing problem could not be resolved. The alternative is to return to the Olympic Stadium of Luis Cormans, a venue that Barcelona had cleared at the end of last season, because there was no intention of going back. The club's board of directors will make a decision in mid-August and inform La Liga and UEFA teams of the match location. If you finally choose to go back to the Louis Koemans Stadium, then the team will need to play there until the end of the Champions League group stage at the end of January. This will negatively affect the club's revenue. The option to return to the Louis Koemans Stadium was not ruled out, and the club is communicating with the Barcelona city government on this.
In fact, according to UEFA regulations, clubs must designate a backup stadium, and the Olympic Stadium is the role. In addition, within the club, some people believe that if they can't play at Camp Nou in the first half of the season, it's better to stay outside the entire season to speed up the project. But there are other voices who insist that they should return to home as soon as possible to ensure income levels.
