FC Barcelona could be renewed its options to close the 2024-25 season in the Olimpic Lluís Companys. Because? We tell you in FCBN

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has a clear roadmap to return to the Spotify Camp Nou, with expectations for the month of May this year. The goal is to conclude the 2024-25 season at their usual home.

It is worth noting that the Blaugrana club renewed the permission to use the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys only until April 23. Therefore, the return to the Camp Nou is expected to be resolved for May, as after this date, FC Barcelona still has two home commitments to fulfill: one against Real Madrid on May 11 and another against Villarreal CF on May 18, both in LaLiga EA Sports.

However, despite the forecasts, FC Barcelona is considering alternative options to face these final two commitments, as unforeseen events may prevent the return to the Camp Nou on time. At this point, the return to Montjuïc for these matches had been almost completely ruled out, due to various cultural events and concerts scheduled by the Barcelona City Council at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys throughout May.

Barcelona could end the 2024-25 season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys

However, a recent development could improve FC Barcelona's outlook for hosting the last two matches of the 2024-25 season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. It is worth remembering that there were speculations that the Rolling Stones would hold a concert at Montjuïc in May, but now there are discussions on social media that their European tour for 2025 might be canceled, freeing up the stadium for the Blaugrana team.

With the Rolling Stones concert in Catalan territory out of the equation, the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys would be available for FC Barcelona to play the last two matches of the season. Moreover, following this information's dissemination, the Culé team issued a statement announcing their intention to extend the team's stay for the season's closure at Montjuïc.

The FC Barcelona statement, in detail:

"FC Barcelona will request BSM to extend the occupation and operation of the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys until May 20, although the club's goal remains to play matches this season at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The Club has learned that BSM's reservation of the facility starting in May for a very likely musical event will probably not be fulfilled.

Therefore, the non-confirmation of an event that the Olympic Ring had reserved opens up the possibility for FC Barcelona to play until the last LaLiga match at the Estadi Olímpic."

Barça remains hopeful of returning to the Spotify Camp Nou in May

However, it is clear that the Blaugrana club's plan is to finish the season at the Camp Nou, and they are working diligently to achieve this. Nevertheless, the availability of the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in case of contingency is undoubtedly a relief for FC Barcelona.

If unable to return to the Camp Nou, they have a stadium that has been a good support since last season, allowing them to conclude the 2024-25 campaign smoothly and prepare to definitively start the 2025-26 season at their iconic and characteristic home.
