Barça has 9 players called up by their national teams for the FIFA matchday in October. At FCBN we review the dates and times of their matches
A total of nine FC Barcelona players will be called up by their national teams this week to play in the FIFA matches of October. The double international matchday marks the continuation of the UEFA Nations League in Europe with its matchdays 3 and 4, while in South America the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup continue. At FCBN we review the dates and times of the matches of the Barça internationals in this October break:
Pau Cubarsí, Lamine Yamal and Pedri will see action with La Roja
Luis de la Fuente has called up four culés for the second double-header of the Nations League, a tournament in which La Roja is the reigning champion. Pau Cubarsí, Lamine Yamal and Pedri González will report to the European champions this week for the matches against Denmark (Saturday 12th, in Murcia) and Serbia (Tuesday 15th, in Córdoba). Both matches will be played at 20:45 Spanish time (8:45 PM CEST). Ferran Torres was also called up by the Spanish team, but his presence is practically ruled out after the muscle injury he suffered this Sunday in Alavés.
Koundé and Lewandowski will also be in the Nations League

The centre-back will face Israel (Thursday 10) and then Belgium (Monday 14), both away games.
