Barcelona optimistic about receiving Camp Nou expansion licence in time for Sevilla clash | Barca Universal
"FC Barcelona submitted all the necessary documentation several weeks ago and are now waiting for the municipal approval that would allow the reopening of the Gol Nord stand. At the same time, Barça have already activated the process for members to purchase the corresponding season tickets tied to the expansion - approximately 14,000 new seats."
"The 1C license will not arrive in time for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Atletico Madrid on March 3. That match would have been an ideal occasion for Hansi Flick's side to benefit from an increased number of supporters at the stadium."
"The City Council has imposed more obstacles than initially expected, particularly concerning access requirements, in order to authorise the opening of the first and second tiers of Gol Nord - areas that have in fact been structurally completed for some time. The initial expectation was that Barcelona would have the requisite licence by the end of January, but a month later, things have yet to be resolved."
FC Barcelona submitted documentation for the 1C license to expand Spotify Camp Nou's capacity to 62,000 spectators by reopening the Gol Nord stand. The club has already begun selling approximately 14,000 new season tickets for members. The license will not arrive in time for the Copa del Rey semifinal against Atletico Madrid on March 3. All parties involved are optimistic the permit could be granted within a month, with the realistic target date being Barcelona's home fixture against Sevilla on March 15. The City Council imposed more obstacles than expected, particularly regarding access requirements for the first and second tiers of Gol Nord, causing delays beyond the initial January deadline.
