Birmingham City are set to host European giants Barcelona this summer as part of the Spanish club’s pre-season schedule.
Hansie Flick’s side will be at England’s national training center St George’s Park for around two weeks, with their arrival scheduled for July 27.
After leaving England, they are expected to play two additional friendlies, one in the Kenyan capital Nairobi and another in Morocco.
The exact date of the match against Championship side Birmingham is yet to be confirmed.
With many Spanish internationals likely to be on holiday after the World Cup, depending on Spain’s progress in the tournament, Barca’s squad in England could be limited.
However, these fixtures will help offset the absence of the traditional pre-season tour.
The World Cup is being held across the United States, Mexico and Canada from June 11 to July 19 with some clubs opting for European tours instead of long-haul flights.
Barcelona, who are on course for a back-to-back La Liga title, said the World Cup made it “technically and commercially impossible to organize a proper overseas tour.”
