FC Barcelona, one of the most followed football clubs in the world, is coming to Sydney for the very first time ever.
The two-day event will begin on Tuesday 24 May with the official Barca Fan Party and Open Training Session.
And then, on Wednesday 25 May, the La Liga super club will take on the A-Leagues All Stars in front of a full house at Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park.
FC Barcelona has won three Club World Cups, five UEFA Champions League titles and a record eight La Liga and Copa del Rey doubles. They’ve produced some of world football’s greatest players. They have 275 million social media followers.
But the local team, featuring the best and brightest A-Leagues talent – and coached by legendary Manchester United and A-Leagues striker Dwight Yorke – will be out to maybe, just maybe, pull off the mother of all upsets. Perhaps even in the high drama of penalties should the match end in a draw.
To help you have the best possible time at the game, we’ve put together the below guide full of helpful tips! You can also head to our Event Page for more info.
