Barcelona Expects Phase 1C Approval to Reopen Camp Nou’s North Stand for Sevilla

The license would raise capacity toward 62,000 in time for the club’s election day.

Overview

Club sources now anticipate a City Council decision later today, though officials have not set a timeline and the authorization remains pending.
If granted, Barcelona will open the first and second tiers of the North Stand and move matchday capacity from about 45,401 toward 62,000.
Upon approval, the club will offer roughly 14,000 North Stand season tickets to members with a 24-hour application window priced at €160–€264 and a lottery if oversubscribed.
Reporting varies on current attendance levels, with one outlet citing 45,401 as the limit and another projecting about 47,000 under existing arrangements.
A separate process is progressing to place the Grada d’Animación in the South Stand with 1,247 seats after a temporary 750-seat corner section was used in a recent Copa del Rey match.
