www.fcbarcelona.cat

FC Barcelona will wear a special kit for the Trofeo Joan Gamper game against Manchester City this month that will be dedicated to the MÉS project that the club, Nike and UNHCR founded last December.

Instead of donning the traditional Blaugrana colours for the match on August 19 in Camp Nou, Pep Guardiola's team will play in the new shirt that will carry the MÉS logo and red shorts.

Limited numbers

The new shirts are even more environmentally friendly as they will be made from recycled material and the colours will be water-based inks. A limited quantity of just ,899 shirts have been produced for fans to buy and cherish. These unique tops will cost €120 and they will go on sale in the FCBotiga in the Camp Nou forecourt, the Nike Megastore on Passeig de Gràcia, in all of the El Corte Inglés shops in specially numbered boxes, and in the Official Online Store .

Auctioning shirts

After the game, the shirts worn by the players will be auctioned off and all proceeds will go to the FC Barcelona Fundació.

The MÉS project was created to allow help given marginalised children and refugees around the world a chance of having education through sport.
