FC Barcelona considers summer friendly match in Morocco
FC Barcelona is exploring the possibility of hosting a summer-friendly game in Morocco, adding an exciting dimension to its 2024-2025 preseason schedule. This potential match could reignite the club's connections with its Moroccan fanbase, which has shown fervent support for La Liga, particularly during high-stakes matches such as the iconic Clásico against Real Madrid.
The news, reported by Sports, highlights that club president Joan Laporta is weighing options for the friendly, which may take place in either Europe or Morocco. This decision comes as FC Barcelona seeks to finalize its preseason itinerary, which already includes plans for two additional friendly matches in South Korea, alongside a game in Japan against Vissel Kobe, set for July.
The friendly match in Morocco, if confirmed, would mark a significant moment for fans in the region. Millions of Moroccans avidly follow FC Barcelona and the broader La Liga, making the prospect of a match in their homeland particularly enticing. The club's last appearance in Morocco occurred in 2018, when it faced Sevilla in Tangier during the Spanish Super Cup, securing a 2-1 victory.
Barcelona's historical ties to Morocco date back to 2013, when the team first visited Tangier to play a friendly against Raja Club Casablanca. The enthusiasm demonstrated by Moroccan supporters during these events underscores the importance of maintaining strong connections with international fanbases.
As FC Barcelona deliberates its preseason plans, the potential friendly in Morocco stands as a symbol of the club's commitment to its global supporters, fostering a shared passion for the beautiful game.
