BARCELONA -
The traditional pre-season Joan Gamper Trophy match will mark only the stadium's partial reopening, with construction work continuing in various areas, the current Spanish champions said in a statement.
This includes the completion of the new third tier, the dual VIP ring, the roof installation, interior spaces and development of the stadium's surrounding area.
The Catalan giants have not confirmed the initial capacity, but local media reported that the available stands can hold 35,000 fans.
"Barcelona takes a symbolic and emotional step into the future, reclaiming its home in a new era that will culminate with the complete inauguration of the new stadium," the club said.
