This season Barcelona plays home games at the Olympic Stadium, or Montjuice, as it once was called. Camp Nou is currently being renovated and the Catalan club is forced to replace its local stadium for a while.
In the past period, however, Catalonia was exposed to a long-term drought that began last year. The amount of rainfall from September 2022 to the present is 17 percent lower than the average.
This led the Catalan government to take a series of drastic steps to address the situation. Water bills rose in the sky, and allowed water consumption fell from 230 to 130 liters per day.

The warning came for Barcelona players as well. Catalan authorities have ordered the Xavi Hernandez team not to take a shower in the stadium and training centre because of the need to save water.
Minister for Action for Climate, Food and Rourage David Mascort warned Barcelona that if they continue to use water in the stadium, they will have to compensate for it.
What Barcelona has to do is compensate for the water it uses if they want to keep showering and use all the equipment that consumes too much water. Whether in Montjuic or in the field training centers”, Mascort said.
