He FC Barcelona keep working to get back to Spotify Camp Nou as soon as possible, with planned dates constantly updated and with the understanding that the selection of the construction company Limak to carry out what will be “the best stadium in the world and the one with the largest capacity in Europe with 105,000 seats” will soon arouse “the admiration of all.” This is his emphatic statement Joan Laportapresident of FC Barcelona, does everything about the progress of the works in the stadium “which excites all the culés so much”.
The idea that the club is moving towards now is that “if it’s not at the end of January, it will be at the beginning of February, because of the competition calendar.” “The grass and chairs have been laid out. We are trying to make sure that the return is in conditions of maximum possible comfort, although assuming that there will be some discomfort at the beginning,” explained Laporta.
The leader of Barça is pleased with the choice of Limak in the construction of a stadium that “generates so much excitement that it compensates for any initial discomfort.” “We are very satisfied with the choice of the construction company we chose. Given the speed of the work, I would have preferred to go faster, but the speed is also set by regulations and licenses, which is not a complaint, but it is a fact .” Laporta even stated that “Limak wanted to give it ‘more gear’ and they squeezed us.” All in all, “if there are no imponderables, we can return to the new Camp Nou at the beginning of the year.” Regarding the “imponderables”, Laporta mentioned factors that do not depend on the club or the services it contracts. “The war may be more intense causing delays in the transportation of materials, increasing the cost of materials, with situations that we cannot control due to force majeure, beyond meteorological conditions. This is the most important task that is being done in Europe at the moment has a competition calendar that could bring us further or closer,” he added. In the club’s opinion, “combining Champions League matches in one place – with reference to Montjuïc – and League matches in another is on the way. We can unify it,” he warned.
Even so, he reiterated that, by contract, “if the deadlines are not met there are penalties, as long as they are fair, but if they are not linked to Limak we will not impute them; we are a serious club,” he said .
Finally, he reiterated the special attention the club is devoting to season ticket holders who join the first team in the temporary move to Montjuïc. “It is only fair to thank the 17,000 members who came to the Estadi Olímpic for their loyalty and that is why they prefer to return to the Camp Nou.” Laporta reiterated that while it won’t be under ideal conditions, he hopes “the accesses will be pretty decent.” “You have to be aware that there will be some inconveniences, but coming home will pay off a lot for the joy it generates for the culés. And I’m not talking about ticketing and economy, we’re talking about I have the simple excitement of coming home.”
