With injured stars Raphinha and Joan Garcia expected to return, it marks a powerful turning point in Barcelona’s season as Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp even further in the coming months.

Phase 1C Targets a Major Capacity Increase
The club’s current authorisation under phase 1B allows them to open the lateral stand, but Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp capacity significantly by January. According to reports, the board is pushing aggressively to complete phase 1C of the project before the year ends. This phase would raise the stadium’s operational capacity from 45,000 to 62,000 seats. To do this, Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp infrastructure swiftly, obtain the necessary municipal approvals, and secure the final licenses required for matchday expansion.
Barcelona will play their final home match of 2025 against Osasuna on December 13th. After that fixture, they are not scheduled to return home until January, giving the construction team a much-needed window. If the club draws a Copa del Rey Round of 16 home match on January 14th, it could become the first game with the expanded attendance—exactly what Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp preparations aim for. If not, the home match against Real Oviedo on January 25th could be the milestone moment.
Club Pushes for Rapid Construction Progress
Work around the stadium is progressing quickly as Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp capacity and restore the venue to its status as one of Europe’s premier football arenas. One of the immediate goals is the completion of the away supporters’ stand, which remains unfinished ahead of their first game back. With fan enthusiasm at an all-time high, Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp operations to bring even more spectators back into the revamped venue.
As Barcelona hope to expand Spotify Camp capacity and accelerate construction, the return to their iconic home signals both renewal and ambition for the club’s future.
