FC Barcelona is accelerating work to get the Spotify Camp Nou ready<\/strong> for its home debut in LaLiga and also for the first phase of the Champions League, which will be drawn on August 28. The Blaugrana entity has communicated to UEFA its desire to host the most important club tournament on the planet in Les Corts.<\/strong><\/p> According to information from ‘Sport’, Bar\u00e7a will contact the organizing body of European football in the next 48 hours, so that, if it does not have the endorsement, it can play the Champions League in Montju\u00efc, its home for the last two seasons.<\/p> Before the day of the Champions League draw, Bar\u00e7a must confirm to UEFA in which stadium they will play their home matches.<\/strong> The Blaugrana institution will make every effort to play them at the Spotify Camp Nou; for this reason, they asked the European body to play their first tournament match as visitors.<\/p> By requesting that their first match be played away from home, they could delay their home debut until September 30 or October 1. It should be noted that the works at the Spotify Camp Nou are racing against the clock. The club already has the approval of the Final Construction Certificate (CFO) of phase 1A<\/a>, which will allow them to enable the grandstand and Gol Sud, which would allow an initial capacity of 27,000 spectators.<\/strong> This could be easier for LaLiga, but not for UEFA.<\/p> For television transmission reasons, to comply with UEFA regulations, at least one side of the stadium must be operational. This will be in phase 1B<\/strong>, when one of the sides can be opened and the capacity can be expanded to 45,000 seats; this has not yet been validated. On the other hand, the Gold Nor will be for phase 1C, which is the last one planned in the planning of the works.<\/p> Bar\u00e7a asked to play their first Champions League match as visitors<\/h2>
