World Sports: Barcelona may play away from home in the first round of the Champions League, buying more preparation time for Camp Nou

It will be held at 0:00 on August 29, and Barcelona is expected to play away in the first round to get more preparation time. Previously, the club had requested UEFA, hoping to play as a visiting team in the first match of the Champions League in the new season.

In this regard, UEFA expressed understanding and support, aiming to provide Barcelona with more time to prepare for its home court - whether it is the Camp Nou Stadium still under construction or the alternative Montec Olympic Stadium.

Barcelona will start the Champions League journey this season as a away team on September 16, 17 or 18. Then, in the second round of the match on September 30 or October 1, Barcelona will return to their home court.

Although Barcelona has informed UEFA that its home court will be the Camp Nou Stadium and that this information will also be displayed in a website update on Saturday, the club reserves the right to enable the Montreal Olympic Stadium as an alternative, given the uncertainty of whether the side stands can be completed on schedule.
