FC Barcelona will hold its General Assembly of Committers on October 21. One of the points that appear on the agenda is a report on the state of Espai Barça. And at that point, the board of directors hopes to give good news to its members.

If nothing goes wrong, The Barça club hopes that the Barcelona City Council will have granted the building license before the Assembly is held to begin the construction of the third stand of what will be the new Spotify Camp Nou.

At Barça they are very satisfied with how Limak has carried out the demolition of the third stand and other areas of the stadium. In fact, it is noted that The demolition works have been carried out more quickly than expected, but they are still stuck with obtaining the license to start building.

Barcelona City Council already warned that the process was slow, since Joan Laporta’s board of directors had modified the initial plan approved by the previous board of Josep Maria Bartomeu. The third tier was substantially modified to include two rings of boxes, increasing its height..

The deadlines

Barça expected to have the building license ready in August and now believes it will arrive before the Assembly, since in Limak they are ready to start the construction of the new stadium once they have worked hard on the demolition, which began in a first phase in November 2022 and accelerated when the competition ended last summer.

Obtaining the license and starting to build is key to meeting the planned dates. Barça plans to allow the team to play again at the Spotify Camp Nou, although with limited capacity, in November 2024.. In recent weeks, some voices, such as that of Jaume Roures, have shown their pessimism regarding the return to the Estadi.
