"The past few years have seen the Blaugrana travel to the USA for pre-season, but they switched it up this summer, opting to tour Japan and South Korea instead. Now, according to SPORT, one of the options currently on Barcelona's table for the summer of 2026 is Brazil. Within the club, this possibility is viewed very positively, as the country has a deep footballing culture, highly dedicated fans, and has never had the opportunity to see Barcelona train and play live."
"One key consideration for the Barcelona coaching staff and players is to minimise internal travel. The idea is to avoid a series of domestic flights within the host country, as such constant movement can be exhausting and affect rest - a crucial factor in properly preparing for the new season. For that reason, any travel plan must ensure that journeys are as short and comfortable as possible."
FC Barcelona receives multiple pre-season hosting proposals from countries worldwide and is currently assessing options for summer 2026. Brazil is a leading option within the club due to its deep footballing culture, passionate fans, and the lack of prior opportunities to see Barcelona train and play live there. Other proposals have come from South American nations, Japan, and the United States. The coaching staff prioritizes minimising internal travel to avoid exhausting domestic flights and protect player rest. All proposals are at an early stage while the club gathers offers and evaluates financial and squad welfare factors before making a final decision.
