Barcelona Granted 1C License to Reopen Camp Nou North Stand, Raising Capacity to 62,000

Overview

• The City Council’s 1C permit authorizes reopening the first and second tiers of the Gol Nord, lifting capacity by roughly 16,000 to about 62,000–62,700 starting with Sunday’s match against Sevilla.
• Barcelona is assigning around 14,000 new places to members, offering season tickets priced between €160 and €264 with a 24‑hour application window.
• If requests outnumber available seats, the club will conduct a draw to allocate the new season tickets, with reports indicating high demand already logged.
• The club is seeking UEFA clearance to apply the expanded capacity to next week’s Champions League home tie against Newcastle United.
• Work continues on a permanent supporters’ sector in the South Stand with 1,247 places, while the reopening of the third tier remains slated for a later phase.
