FC Barcelona Heading to Morocco Soon for a Blockbuster Match?

Deprived of its traditional summer tour due to the World Cup, FC Barcelona is preparing its comeback. The Catalan club is planning a training camp in England and is considering playing several friendly matches, including one in Morocco against a local team.

The Barcelona board of directors met this Thursday under the direction of Rafa Yuste to finalize the summer program for the professional squad. With the World Cup ending on July 19, the executives ruled out the idea of a lengthy international tour in favor of a training camp of approximately two weeks at St. George’s Park, the complex of the English Football Federation near Birmingham.

It is within this specific framework that preparation matches are being planned. As Mundo Deportivo reveals, an offer to play a friendly match on Moroccan soil, against a local team yet to be determined, is high on the blaugrana management’s agenda.

Alongside this likely Moroccan stopover, the club is studying another proposal to play in Kenya, potentially in Nairobi against Liverpool. Barça must also finalize the organization of its traditional Joan Gamper Trophy, where Ajax Amsterdam is hoped for subject to its European calendar.
