FC Barcelona has officially extended its stay at Montjuïc until April 23, 2025. With this, the club leaves the door open to returning to the Spotify Camp Nou for the last Clásico of the season against Real Madrid

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona board confirmed the date on which it will play its last home game of the season in Montjuïc in the 2024-25. Through a statement, Barça informed all its subscribers "the extension of the Season Pass at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys 2024-25 until April 23, 2025, the date on which it is scheduled to play the Barça–Mallorca of matchday 33 of La Liga".

This is the second extension of the Stadium Pass, after the one the club made in November, which included the three matches that the azulgrana team plays this January. As in the previous extension, the pass includes all La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions matches that Barça plays at home during February, March, and April, until the 23rd. The last week of April, the City Council will occupy the Lluís Companys for a series of scheduled cultural and recreational activities.

Likewise, for the season ticket holders who purchased the Spotify Camp Nou pass, their tickets will be available at a reduced price. In turn, Barcelona assures that it will "communicate any news regarding the calendar for returning to Camp Nou in the future." In that sense, the work at the Estadi is progressing at a very good pace and, although at the moment the board prefers not to 'get involved' with a date for the return to the culé temple, club sources close to FCBN confirm that the team will be able to close the season at Les Corts in May.

Barça prepares an unbeatable setting for the return to Camp Nou

Barça will thus return to the Spotify Camp Nou with an unbeatable setting for what is set to be not only the last Clásico of the season, but a real LaLiga final. The club's association scheduled the matchday 35 clash for Sunday 11 May, a match in which both teams could arrive in the thick of the fight for the championship, alongside Atlético de Madrid. In principle, the capacity for that match would be 65,000 spectators, 15,000 more seats than the maximum planned for matches at Montjuïc. 

Between the match against Mallorca (23 April) and the Clásico, the club will have two and a half weeks to get the Estadi ready, waiting to play a possible Champions League semi-final in between. After the match against Madrid, the Catalans will close their home season in LaLiga with matchday 37, against Villarreal. The semi-finals of the European Cup, meanwhile, will be played between the last week of April and the first week of May.
