FC Barcelona officially announced its return to the Spotify Camp Nou in a statement sent to members of the press on Wednesday morning in Catalonia.
The club said that it will 'return home' on August 10 with the men's football first team, and 'once again make the Spotify Camp Nou Vibrate'.
This is a milestone that 'will mark the partial reopening of the new Barça home as part of the Espai Barça transformation project'.
'The return will take place on the occasion of the Joan Gamper Trophy, a very special event for Barça fans, more details of which will be announced soon,' the club added.
'This return represents a historic milestone for the Club and for Barça fans, since after more than two years of extensive renovation and temporarily playing away from home at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, they will once again experience the excitement of football in the Barça temple, in the heart of Les Corts. However, it should be noted that the return will take place while the works on the new Spotify Camp Nou continue, and it will be necessary to coexist with performances in different areas of the venue,' the Blaugrana warned.
Barca explained that among the parts of the stadium that need to be completed are the third stand, the double VIP ring, the new roof and the 'final adaptation of some interiopr spaces' in addition to the 'external urbanization of the surroundings of the Stadium'.
'During this stage, the Club will work to guarantee the maximum comfort of members, partners, fans and fans who visit the Spotify Camp Nou, facilitating access and adapting services to offer the best possible experience,' it noted.
"To mark this milestone, FC Barcelona has launched an epic and emotionally charged campaign, under the slogan 'We return home, we vibrate'. This campaign includes various actions and activations throughout the city and in digital environments, designed to strengthen the bond between the Club, the fans and the city of Barcelona, as well as the Barça fans around the world.
"Some of the different pieces have already been launched, but more initiatives will be progressively presented and details will be given through the Club's official channels.
With this return, FC Barcelona takes a symbolic and emotional step towards the future, reclaiming its home in a new stage that will culminate in the full inauguration of the new Stadium. An opportunity to feel again, to vibrate again, and to continue building the Barça of the future together," the current La Liga champions concluded.
FC Barcelona has been away from the Camp Nou for more than two years
August 10 will see FC Barcelona return to its ground after more than two years away. It last played there to close a Spanish top flight-winning campaign in 2022/2023 under club legend Xavi Hernandez.

The goalkeeper saved his team from a goal by round of 16 opponent Flamengo with a world-class reflex. After an attack on Bayern's left defensive side, the ball ended up at Flamengo's Plata at the far post, who reacted faster than Laimer and shot the ball at close range towards the goal. Manuel Neuer's right arm shot up lightning fast, preventing the 1:2 by the Brazilians. Incredible. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Kompany disciple, anti-Simeone: Club World Cup's top coach
When FC Bayern faces Flamengo on Sunday evening in the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup, it's not just a clash between two big names in world football. It's also the story of a coach who once played at the very highest level himself and now wants to challenge the giants from Munich with his team: Filipe Luís. Advertisement The 38-year-old Brazilian has become the coach of perhaps the most famous club in South America, far from the European football spotlight, and is also a great admirer of the German record champions. 'They are a European colossus,' gushed Luís at the press conference in Miami about Bayern. 'A club that inspires us and gives us ideas to copy.' Those are, without a doubt, big words. But they come from the mouth of a highly talented tactician who has already celebrated remarkable successes with Flamengo. From Fighter to Tactical Thinker As a player, Filipe Luís was best known for his time at Atlético Madrid, where he developed into one of the best left-backs in Europe under Diego Simeone. But as a coach, Luís is forging his own path – and it's clearly different from that of his mentor! Advertisement While Simeone stands for iron discipline, compactness, and defensive stability, Filipe Luís is much more a proponent of bold, possession-oriented football. Under his leadership, Flamengo is attack-minded, strong in combination play, and relies on dominance with the ball: with 60.6 percent possession, no team in the Brazilian Serie A has a higher share of the ball. 📸 David Ramos - 2016 Getty Images He already attracted attention in youth football with titles and attractive performances. With the U17s, he won the Copa Rio, and with the U20s, even the Intercontinental Cup against Olympiakos Piraeus. By then, it was clear: this man is destined for greater things. And he would get his chance soon enough. A Meteoric Rise on the Sidelines Filipe Luís needed only nine games to write himself into Flamengo's history books. In the final of the Copa do Brasil, his team triumphed over Atlético Mineiro. In the league, after a shaky start to the season under his predecessor Tite, he still managed to lead the team to third place. Advertisement Particularly impressive: Luís lost only one of his first 26 games as head coach – the derby against Fluminense. An average of 2.42 points per game is outstanding, even by Brazilian standards. Unlike Simeone, who often wears down his opponents with disciplined defensive football, Luís relies on controlled build-up play, technical superiority, and targeted pressing phases. He wants to have the ball – and, above all, control the game. This has earned him respect in his own country, but also attention from Europe. Should Atlético ever no longer be able to rely on Simeone's services, it is anything but unthinkable that Luís could one day succeed his former coach. And Now: FC Bayern Currently, the left-footer is presenting himself as a coach to a large international audience for the first time. In the new Club World Cup format, the first matches were against Chelsea, LAFC, and Esperánce Tunis – and now against FC Bayern. Advertisement Luís knows the roles are clearly defined: 'They are the favorites.' Still, he makes it clear: 'Anything can happen in a single game.' It's hardly surprising that he is an avowed fan of Vincent Kompany. Both stand for modern, bold football, shaped by a clear playing philosophy. It's no coincidence that the Brazilian praised his coaching colleague for doing an 'excellent' job ahead of their direct encounter. Kompany is a role model for many up-and-coming coaching talents. For all the praise: Filipe Luís has what it takes to soon be not just an admirer, but a real competitor on the European stage. But for now, it's showtime: Flamengo versus Bayern and a coaching duel that we're unlikely to see for the last time. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Atletico Madrid plan instant sale on returning loan star
Atletico Madrid want to sell midfield star Saul Niguez immediately after he returns to the club this summer. Los Rojiblancos opted to send the Spain international on a season-long loan for the 2024/25 campaign as he moved on to La Liga rivals Sevilla. Advertisement Despite setting out his objective to force his way back in at the Estadio Metropolitano – following a loan stint at Chelsea – Saul remained outside Diego Simeone's plans in Madrid. However, injuries and suspensions played a role in his lack of prominence in Andalucia, and his career continues to drift. Sevilla opt against Saul transfer Sevilla did have the option to retain Saul on a permanent transfer but they quickly indicated that was not in their plans back in April. Atletico Madrid reportedly told the player and his representatives the situation remains unchanged back in Madrid and they want a quick sale. Simeone was hopeful of convincing Sevilla to keep Saul, to effectively end his Atletico Madrid career as his contract in the capital ends in June 2026. What next for Saul at Atletico Madrid? His time at Sevilla had some bright sparks, appearing in 24 La Liga matches and two Copa del Rey games, with one goal and six assists in total. Advertisement Saul will rejoin the Atletico Madrid squad for preseason training when they return in mid-July but his future looks decided as per Diario AS. Previous interest from the Saudi Pro League could be revived in the 30-year-old as he looks for a new challenge. A possible spell in the Middle East would offer him a fresh start and his talent remains clear but a La Liga move looks unlikely. Previous rumours of him joining another La Liga team have not developed with a lack of conviction over him being able to stay fully fit for an extended period of time.
