Barcelona will host Real Sociedad at Olympic Stadium Luis Companis this Sunday during La Liga's sixth matchday. The club originally scheduled this fixture for Spotify Camp Nou. This marks Barcelona's first appearance at the Olympic venue after previous home games at Johan Cruyff Stadium in Sant Joan Despí. The team also plans to face Paris Saint-Germain at the same location on October 1 for Champions League group stage action. Stadium officials continue working toward obtaining occupancy permits for the venue.
The facility will accommodate 27,000 supporters in its initial phase, covering the main stand and southern section. Phase 1B expansion will increase capacity to 45,000 seats to satisfy UEFA requirements. Elena Fort serves as Barcelona's Vice President, overseeing the Espai Barcelona initiative. The municipality charges Barcelona between 300,000 and 900,000 euros per match at the Olympic Stadium. Revenue suffers from this temporary arrangement since Johan Cruyff Stadium generates significantly lower financial returns than Montjuïc.
