Barcelona to Face Birmingham City in Summer Friendly
FC Barcelona is scheduled to conduct a pre-season training camp at St. George's Park, located near Birmingham, starting on July 27, 2026. The camp will last approximately two weeks and will serve as a cornerstone for Barcelona's preparations for the 2026-27 season.
During this training period, Barcelona is expected to face Birmingham City in a glamour friendly match, although the exact date for this fixture has yet to be confirmed. Reports indicate that Barcelona, managed by Hansi Flick, plans to add two additional friendly matches in Nairobi, Kenya, and Morocco.
The scheduling of these matches comes in response to potential complications arising from the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, affecting the availability of several international players, particularly those from Spain's national team.
