FC Barcelona will kick off their preparations for the 2025-26 campaign with a pre-season friendly against Japanese outfit Vissel Kobe at Noevir (Misaki Park) Stadium in Kobe on Sunday (July 27). Initially called off, the Vissel Kobe vs Barcelona match is now back on the calendar after resolving a contractual dispute with the promoters.
Hansi Flick's travelling Barcelona squad will also take on FC Seoul and Daegu FC in South Korea as part of their tour, before returning to Spain for the traditional curtain raiser, the Joan Gamper Trophy, against Italy's Como. Barcelona will begin their La Liga title defence against Mallorca on August 16.
For Vissel Kobe, the fixture presents an out-of-competition outing amid the ongoing domestic season in Japan. Takayuki Yoshida's men recorded a 2-1 victory over Fagiano in the J1 League on July 20. And a well-rested "Ushi" will be fired up to prove their worth against the European heavyweight.
