The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has officially confirmed the venue for the upcoming clash between Barcelona and Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Barca will first face Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night (9:00 PM CET / 3:00 PM ET) at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Montjuïc) in Matchday 2 of the group stage.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, UEFA announced on its official website that Matchday 3 fixture against Olympiacos will be played at the iconic Camp Nou.
Optimism Surrounds Barcelona’s Return to Camp Nou
Meanwhile, construction work is ongoing to meet safety requirements set by Barca City Council. The venue for the La Liga fixture between Barcelona and Girona on October 18 has yet to be determined.
The Catalan club remains optimistic about hosting matches at its home ground again—a highly anticipated return for both management and supporters.
Nevertheless, La Liga stated on its website that the venue for the Girona match will be confirmed at a later date.
The same site confirmed that Barcelona’s La Liga match against Elche, scheduled for November 2, will also take place at Camp Nou.
Sport further reported that after the uncertainty surrounding the Girona fixture, Barcelona’s management has finalized all preparations for the Olympiacos match. Should Camp Nou remain unavailable, Estadi Les Corts is the leading alternative to host the game.
