Barca not ruling out return to Montjuic amid Camp Nou delays

The hallowed grounds of Camp Nou, FC Barcelona’s spiritual home, were meant to be undergoing a transformative metamorphosis, ready to welcome its faithful back to a state-of-the-art arena by late 2024 or early 2025. Yet, as the calendar inches towards the latter half of 2024, a palpable sense of unease permeates the Catalan capital. Whispers, now growing louder, suggest that the club might not be able to return to its iconic stadium as initially planned, potentially extending their temporary exile at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Montjuic. This emerging reality casts a long shadow over the club’s ambitious Espai Barça project, highlighting a complex web of logistical, financial, and construction challenges that are proving far more intricate than anticipated.
