World Sports: Barcelona Municipal Government approves the first license to allow Barcelona to host the Gambel Cup at Camp Nou

According to the Spanish media "World Sports", the Barcelona municipal government approved the first license to allow Barcelona to host the Gambel Cup at the Camp Nou.

The first step to returning to the Camp Nou Stadium to welcome the Gambel Cup on August 10. The Barcelona Municipal Approval Committee approved the event and engineering permit today, with a month left before the match against Como. Barcelona submitted all documents sufficient time in advance, and they were waiting for the first licensing notice issued by the municipal government's technical department. Otherwise, you have to wait until July 17.

After receiving the event and engineering permit, the next necessary condition is that the municipal government grants Barcelona the first use permit after the necessary engineering phase to host the Gambel Cup at the end of July. If this final approval is passed, time will be very tight, but it will be enough to allow Barcelona's 2025-26 season opening game to be held.

The communication between Barcelona management and the municipal government and fire departments is continuous to study which channels are most suitable for evacuating the abortion. What the club has fully accepted is that it cannot accommodate 60,000 people as the club hopes, and the actual available capacity will float between 25,000 and 35,000 people. Barcelona believes that the North or South stands will be completely closed. The total capacity must be determined at the latest this week or next week.

In addition, temporary passages planned to be built at the entrance to Notre Dame Street and above the parking lot have not been completed, and construction will continue at the beginning of the season.

Barcelona is ready to have a "rehearsal" before this, with a tentative date of July 28. Since it does not involve the public or external fans, you do not need to hold a first-time use license. All necessary personnel of the club will participate in the exercise to check if the access is completely clear and that all necessary services (with the correct use of the locker room involving the audience, the media, security personnel and even the players for the game) are functioning properly.
