The purpose of Barcelona’s decision is to “prevent a repeat of what happened in April 2022, when the majority of the spectators at Spotify’s Camp Nou stadium did not belong to local fans.” That time, photos of Frankfurt fans filling the Nou Camp spread around the world.

Barcelona explained that any tickets found to be held by Frankfurt fans locally will be registered to identify the members involved in the purchase and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken.
