La Liga Rejects Barcelona's Proposal to Move Match Against Valencia to Mestalla
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" confirmed that La Liga firmly rejected FC Barcelona's proposal to change the schedule of their match against Valencia in the fourth round of the Spanish league, which is set for the weekend between September 13 and 14.
The decision completely rules out the possibility of holding the match at Mestalla Stadium, forcing the Catalan club to find an alternative if Spotify Camp Nou is not ready.
Barcelona is working at a rapid pace to complete renovation work at Camp Nou and obtain the necessary permits to reopen it, but uncertainty remains regarding the possibility of hosting the match at home.
If that isn't possible, Montilivi Stadium in Girona has become the most likely option, after Montjuïc Stadium was ruled out due to a concert by artist Post Malone on September 12, which prevents the stadium from being prepared in time.
Moreover, the options available to Barcelona are gradually narrowing, as Johan Cruyff Stadium is not qualified to host Spanish league matches due to its limited capacity of just 6,000 seats, while La Liga requires a minimum of 8,000 seats.
In this context, the Catalan club completely rules out the idea of playing the match against Valencia without fans, continuing to search for an alternative solution that ensures the match is held in accordance with La Liga regulations without infringing on fan rights or organizational requirements.
