Barcelona has received a big blow in their preparations for the coming season 2025-26, with their tour through Japan and South Korea in the last 24 hours.
Last year it was revealed that Barcelona would return to Asia this summer for their preparations for the season, which had previously played several times in a row in the United States. Matches in Japan and South Korea were planned, and the first of them, against Vissel Kobe, will be played this weekend.
However, the changes to this competition that take place are now very small, where Barcelona confirms in an official statement that their planned pre-season tour has been suspended by Asia.
“FC Barcelona announces that it is mandatory to suspend his participation in the game that is planned in Japan next Sunday due to serious contractual infringements on behalf of the promoter.
“Nevertheless, the club will consider adjusting the leg of the summer tour in Zuid -Korea, where two games are planned against FC Seoul (31 July) and Daegu FC (August 4), as certain conditions are met by the promoter. If these conditions are met, the club will travel to South Korea in the coming days. Falk in the coming days. Japan. “
This news means that Barcelona supporters almost certainly have to wait to see their new signing sessions in action. Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, whose arrival was officially made on Wednesday, may have to wait until next week to wear the colors of the club for the first time in a competition.
There is still a chance for the game against Vissel Kobe to be played, although the requirements of Barcelona have to meet as quickly as possible. If that is not the case, this will be canceled and if it is still the case for the South Korea bone, the Catalans would stay at home for their rest of the preseason.
