Barcelona have confirmed that their Joan Gamper Trophy game on August 10th will not take place at Camp Nou as originally planned.
The Catalans had been hoping to return to their famous old stadium for the game, but it’s being moved and will now take place at the Estadi Johan Cruyff instead.
Here’s Barcelona’s official statement:
“FC Barcelona hereby announces the suspension of the first match scheduled to take place at the revamped Spotify Camp Nou, which was set to coincide with the Joan Gamper Trophy on 10 August.
“This decision is due to the fact that the necessary work to comply with the requirements of the Ordinance Regulating Municipal Intervention Procedures in Construction Works has made it impossible to complete the procedures required for the granting of the initial licence.
