Barça In Scotland For Pre-Season
Quote:
Barcelona have confirmed that their pre-season will begin in Scotland for the second consecutive year...
The Catalan club will travel to the Scottish town of Saint Andrews on July 21 and stay for five days later before returning to Barcelona on July 26.
The team will begin pre-season training a week before their trip, combining training sessions with physical tests and medical revisions for the available players.
During their stay in Scotland, Barca will play two friendlies with local clubs. On July 24, they will play Hibernian at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, before facing Dundee United two days later at the Tannadice Park.
It is understood the Blaugrana wanted to play some friendly games in North America, but the club's plans had to be altered as they will have to play in the Champions League qualifying round.
Nonetheless, Barça have confirmed on their official website that more pre-season matches will be confirmed shortly.
