Traditionally, Barcelona travel to the United States for their annual pre-season tour. They have been going to the United States for the past three years, although it turns out this streak will end next summer.
As reported by Catalunya Radio (via Diario AS), it has been decided internally that Barcelona will not travel to the United States next summer. Instead, Hansi Flick's first team will travel to Asia, where they have been staying since 2019.
Japan, China and South Korea are all considered as possible locations for Barcelona to play friendlies, of which there will be three in total.
For the past three summers, Barcelona and Real Madrid have faced off in a pre-season Clasico in the United States, although that won't happen in 2025 regardless of venue as Los Blancos will be at the Club World Cup. It is not known whether this played a role in Can Barca's decision.
