The scheduled preseason friendly between FC Barcelona and Vissel Kobe has been postponed, which is a significant event. On July 27, Barça was supposed to play Vissel Kobe in the first of their three Asian preseason friendlies. “FC Barcelona announces that it has been obliged to suspend its participation in the game scheduled for next Sunday in Japan due to serious contractual breaches on behalf of the promoter,” the statement read.
The Blaugrana will not be travelling to Asia tomorrow as originally planned because the game in Japan is off. Outlining the steps that they will now take, Barcelona’s statement further noted: “Nevertheless, the Club will consider readjusting the leg of the summer tour in South Korea, where two games are scheduled against FC Seoul (31 July) and Daegu FC (4 August), if certain conditions are met by the promoter.”
