The Spanish champions were due to face the Moroccan club in Tangier on August 15 as part of their build-up to the 2026/27 season but announced that the fixture would no longer take place. “In light of the current uncertainty and circumstances, FC Barcelona considers playing the match would be inappropriate,” the club said. Barcelona are now expected to continue their preparations with a friendly against Nottingham Forest in Udine, Italy, before taking on Egyptian champions Al Ahly on August 19.
