FC Barcelona has the ‘Ok’ from LaLiga to play its first home game of the 25\/26 season, against Valencia, at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. This is provided that the Spotify Camp Nou is not ready<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> has already received permission from LaLiga<\/strong> to play the match corresponding to matchday 4 of the 2025\/26 season, against Valencia<\/a>, at the Estadio Johan Cruyff<\/strong>. This is provided that Spotify Camp Nou does not have the operational licenses for its official reopening.<\/p>

According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the Ciutat Esportiva pitch needs to complete some uncomplicated adjustments to host the Azulgrana’s first home match next Sunday, September 14<\/strong>, starting at 9:00 PM.<\/p>

LaLiga’s requirements to enable the Johan Cruyff Stadium<\/h2>

These include the installation of all necessary cameras for VAR operation<\/strong>, a reliable fiber optic internet connection, and some details regarding the irrigation system. Three aspects that Bar\u00e7a will have no problem solving, as this is the usual home of the women’s first team and the reserve team.<\/p>

The VAR issue will be key, as Bar\u00e7a recently played the matchday 3 fixture in Vallecas (1-1) with serious inconveniences for reviewing plays. The VAR system failed during the first half<\/a>, due to problems with Mediapro’s server and the electricity at Rayo’s stadium.<\/p>

Problems that the Azulgrana cannot allow to happen at the Johan Cruyff. Likewise, the stadium’s capacity will not be an issue, although the club considered the possibility of playing behind closed doors against Valencia<\/a>. This last scenario, only as an alternative for Spotify Camp Nou.<\/p>
