Yesterday afternoon, officials from FC Barcelona met in a board of directors meeting under the leadership of Rafa Yuste. During this meeting, the manager discussed the organization of the next pre-season. Due to the World Cup which will end on July 19, the club has decided to give up its traditional summer tour. However, the Catalan management has studied proposals to play two friendly matches as indicated Mundo Deportivo.
One will be organized in Kenya — possibly in Nairobi — and the other in Morocco. To date, Barça A’s opponents have not yet been officially known, even if a meeting against Liverpool is mentioned for the African trip. The resumption of La Liga 2026-27 was also mentioned by the manager and certain players could notably return later than planned. As a reminder, the first day will take place on August 15 and 16 and some will return on the 22 and 23.
