Calendar of FC Barcelona

December 15th looks set to be a special date for football fans, especially for supporters of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Why? Because it has been confirmed that there will be a match between the legends of the Blaugrana and those of the Merengue team, which will take place in Japan at 2:00 PM local time, which is 6:00 AM in Spain.

This fixture will mark the first time both teams will face off in Japanese territory and will be the second consecutive match they play, as they will also meet in a friendly match in Qatar (Doha) on November 28th. One of the big highlights of this match will be the presence of recently retired Andrés Iniesta, who will don the Blaugrana jersey once again after six years.

The great stars who will return to defend Barcelona's colors in this match

The team of Barça legends will also feature other high-quality players, such as former FC Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, the historic defender of the Blaugrana institution, Javier Mascherano, and the former coach of Barça B, Rafa Márquez.

The match will take place at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, where other recognized former players of Barcelona like Rivaldo, Bojan Krkić, Javier Saviola, Ludovic Giuly, Adriano, and Gaizka Mendieta will also return to defend the colors of the Catalan club. This initiative, created in 2016, aims to globalize the Barcelona brand worldwide and convey the club's values through its former players.
