According to Catalan Radio 3cat, Barcelona plans to rehearse the Gambel Cup at the end of July.

There is one month left before the Gambor Cup is held. This summer's event is not only a show-off for Barcelona in front of fans, but also means the reopening of Camp Nou. After two years of closure due to construction, the stadium will once again open its doors to the public. Of course, this will be subject to the limited reopening of the Barcelona stadium renovation project, which will last until at least the summer of 2026.

This week, the Barcelona City Council is expected to determine the audience capacity of the Gamborg Cup, which is said to be 35,000, and the official announcement of the invited team is still to be announced. The next step will be to start selling tickets to this event that is symbolic for both the club and the fans.

In May this year, Barcelona President Laporta defined the Gambor Cup as an "ideal and necessary test" before returning to the Camp Nou in mid-September's official competition. The club now says the plan is to conduct a pilot test before this "test."

is expected to hold a simulation drill in the last week of July, which will include all the regular participants during the match day: from media to catering providers, and then to the head of the amplification system. Although there are no players and public participation, there will be personnel involved in serving Barcelona's home events.

In the first phase of the return, the home locker room is not available, and both Barcelona and the away team will use the away team locker room. The press room will also be temporary and located in the auditorium. The schedule for obtaining the permits necessary to reopen the venue has been submitted to the Barcelona City Council this Monday. The club is expected to obtain the event permit in mid-July and the first use permit in early August, provided that the engineering tasks of the first and second stands have been completed by then.
