Barcelona’s US pre-season tour likely to take place between July 19-30

Much like last year, FC Barcelona will once again embark on a trip to the United States of America for their pre-season camp before the start of the 2023/24 season.

The Blaugrana toured the US last year and played four matches in Miami, Las Vegas, Dallas and New York.

Now, SPORT has provided an update on the possible schedule for this year’s tour of the United States.

As per the report, the pre-season camp will likely start on July 19 and go on until July 30. Upon returning, it would give ample time to the players to prepare for the season which starts on the weekend of August 12/13.

Unlike last season, when they racked up miles travelling from city to city across the country, Barcelona plan to follow the model of their rivals Real Madrid and set up a base camp at some place on the West Coast and play the matches in nearby venues.

The Blaugrana plan to play three or four matches on their trip to the US. One of those games, much like last year, will be the Clasico against Real Madrid. Furthermore, it is being claimed that the match between the arch-rivals could again be played at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona are also likely to face Juventus while AC Milan could also be a possible opponent for Xavi Hernandez & co.

Before flying off the US, though, the Blaugrana will be travelling to Asia or Australia for a post-season friendly, like last season when they played a game against the A-League All Stars.
