With the start of the 2024-25 season, FC Barcelona fans have a lot to look forward to. For starters, the Blaugrana team has started the season under Hansi Flick in a very good fashion and is once again looking like the team to beat in Spain and Europe.
The Merengues are currently the leaders of the La Liga table, as they have accumulated 24 points from their first 9 games. Real Madrid are following them with 21 points, while Atletico Madrid are further behind with 17 points to their name.
Apart from the sporting results, the Blaugranes will also be eagerly looking forward to seeing their team return to play at the Camp Nou. It has been more than a year since the stadium was closed for renovations, and the team has been playing its home matches at the Montjuic stadium since then.
Initial plans indicated that Spotify Camp Nou would reopen its gates, operating at around 60% capacity, by the end of November, aligning with the club’s 125th-anniversary celebrations. However, given the current pace of renovations, a November return now seems unlikely.
The most realistic date for the Catalans to return home is February 2, 2025, when they are set to host Alavés in La Liga.
In this regard, Mundo Deportivo has provided an exciting update on the renovation progress. Their report reveals that support structures for some seats in the Gol Nord area have been installed, with several seats already in place. Images of these developments have started circulating on social media, sparking anticipation among fans.
On the other hand, the water-proofing work on the first and second-tier structures is almost completed. However, there is still significant work to be done on the car park floors and other third-tier structures.
As the Blaugranes continue their strong start to the season, excitement is building despite the slow progress on their beloved stadium. The return to Camp Nou, even with a reduced capacity, promises to be as exhilarating as the matches themselves, uniting fans in their unwavering support for the team.
