According to World Sports, Laporta was interviewed and talked about when Barcelona will move home to Camp Nou.

At the end of June, you appeared in a promotional event that announced that this year's Gamborg Cup will be held at the Camp Nou Stadium on August 10, but in the end this plan cannot be realized (Barcelona City Hall refused to issue Barcelona the license to use Camp Nou for the first time on August 10). Why did you dare to come forward and announce this date at that time?

The news we received at that time was that the relevant permissions would be in place in time. In fact, construction permits and activity permits have been approved, only the first use permit is short of. We will certainly return to Spotify Camp Nou as soon as possible as possible. Today, we continue to work with the City Hall to overcome all obstacles together. We have no accusations against the Town Hall. We respect and obey their decisions, and our technicians are also pushing forward to strive for an early return. We must remain rational and always act with the utmost prudence. I can see the Town Hall actively cooperating, and we believe they understand that this is an extraordinary project. The mayor once told me that this project has a very important impact on the city of Barcelona.

What will Barcelona do next?

We have agreed on three sub-stages, each of which must complete the corresponding project volume and be consistent with the established construction period, so that the obstacles encountered during the original return date on August 10 can be avoided. The project is advancing at a rapid pace. Anyone who has been to the construction site can confirm this. The construction party is fully committed, and our technicians and the city hall are also actively cooperating. With all parties working together, moving in a consistent manner, and strictly abide by laws and regulations, I believe we will eventually usher in a happy moment to return to Camp Nou. Although the specific time is uncertain, it will definitely be as early as possible.

One thing to note: the completed project volume and communication with the city hall allowed us to adjust the work plan, which had an impact on the previously set construction period - even though we originally planned to enable the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium in sub-regions. Other clubs have also adopted similar practices (opened in sub-regions) for their own stadiums. The City Hall's resolution is very clear, and they believe that the progress of the project has prevented the first use permit from being issued as scheduled - this is the currently missing permit. We respect this decision and will continue to work together because the City Hall is aware of the importance of the project to the city of Barcelona, to Spain, and to many other aspects. For Club Barcelona, we attach great importance to this because it is "going home". I believe Barcelona fans can understand our position. We are the one who most hopes to return.

In mid-August, we must decide where the La Liga will be held at home against Valencia on September 13 or 14...

It is July 23, we still have construction time, the project is progressing at a very good pace, we will pay attention to the overall situation, and we also look forward to the city hall finally granting us the first use license.

If (for Barcelona and Valencia) the alternative is the Olympic Stadium, then we need to communicate with the city hall. There is a concert there on September 12th and they may need to adjust the timing of this concert…

It does, but I don't think it's possible that the concert at Olympic Stadium will be rescheduled.

In that case, there will be no available stadiums in Barcelona's game against Valencia...

I think there will always be a solution. We are working hard to return to Camp Nou. There are other alternatives, but at present these are emergency plans that we are not considering for the time being. Our focus is on returning to the Camp Nou Stadium.

If Barcelona have to continue using the Olympic Stadium, then next season's Champions League match will be there until at least January next year...

We have applied to UEFA to allow our first Champions League match next season to be played away. The Champions League draw will be held on August 28, and it will be clear at that time. I hope UEFA will allow us to play away first. Our relationship with UEFA is getting better and better, and I think we can trust them.

So, will the specific date (Barcelona returns to Camp Nou) be announced again?

We have always said that if there were no unexpected situations (it would go as planned), and the message we conveyed was that we had to put pressure on all relevant matters. A project cannot be carried out aimlessly, and it will never be completed.

Do you want to hold some kind of tribute event when Barcelona returns to Camp Nou's first game, such as Messi's attendance, have you talked to Messi about this?

We have always said it when Messi left Barcelona. The best thing is to pay tribute to Messi at the unveiling ceremony of the new Camp Nou Stadium. I believe the Messi family already knows this idea, we have even talked about it, and we are very happy to do it, of course, it depends on Messi's idea.
