Imminent return: this is how Barça announces the return to the Spotify Camp Nou

A blue pickup with maroon stripes toured the main streets of Barcelona on Tuesday, with speakers that transmit to the corners of the city the characteristic atmosphere of the stands of the Spotify Camp Nou.

In this way, Barça kicks off a surprise campaign related to the team's imminent return to the culé temple. 47 days before the date set by the board to reopen the Estadi (August 10), fans can already feel the excitement of returning home.

"Barcelona vibrates... The moment is approaching", wrote Barça in one of its publications on 'X'. "Too big to whisper it. From the other side of the world, they will hear it", was another of the phrases of the culé intrigue campaign.

The blaugrana pickup, at a snail's pace, strolled through one of the most popular roundabouts of the Avinguda Diagonal and then toured Passeig de Gràcia and La Pedrera, these days full of tourists enjoying the summer.

This was the route of the blaugrana pickup through the City of Barcelona

Without fully understanding what it was about, many curious people took out their mobiles to capture the route of the van, which also passed through emblematic places such as the Sagrada Família and the Arc de Triomf.

Doubts about whether or not it was some campaign related to Barça were cleared when the club and president Joan Laporta shared photographs of the pickup on their social networks.

"A feeling", wrote the culé president on his 'X' account. The club continues preparations to play the Joan Gamper Trophy on August 10 back in Les Corts, after two years in Montjuïc where the balance was positive after the great season made by Hansi Flick's team.

Everything indicates that Como of Italy, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, will be Barça's rival in the match that serves to present the squad and start the season.

Having completed the first requests for the necessary permits to reopen the Estadi, UEFA also carried out its first inspection of the works at Camp Nou, anticipating Barça's return to its natural headquarters in September.

The Camp Nou already shows a much more recognizable face

Although there is still much to be done in the internal corridors and on the facade, the first and second tiers are practically ready and with all their seats installed. The idea is to leave the framework of the third amphitheater fully installed this summer.

The definitive lawn must be sown at the end of July, while the total capacity for the 25/26 season will be around 65,000 seats (probably 62,000).

The works will continue as far as possible during the course of the season, hoping to fully complete the remodeling in the summer of 2026 with the raising of the facade and the installation of the roof.
