As the Spanish club announced today, it will be the first time in history that a Barcelona team plays a game in Australia.
“The match will be played in Sydney at the Australia Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators. The friendly match will take place during the decisive Sunday in Australia when the A league championship will end. Also, during that week, there will be a music and light festival in Sydney “, it is stated in the announcement.
Australian Professional League president Danny Townsend has expressed satisfaction that a club like Barcelona will play in Sydney.
“We are emerging little by little from the water after the third season affected by a coronavirus. Australia and its professional leagues are once again the destinations of international clubs. One of the best clubs in the world will play against the best team composed of players from the A league, a few days before the end of the championship. “It will be a celebration for Australian fans throughout the week,” he said.
