The secretary and spokesman of the Board, Toni Freixa, confirmed the date of August 22nd to contest the 46th edition of Barça’s annual trophy. As usual, this day will also be used for the presentation of Pep Guardiola’s squad for the 2011/12 season.

Waiting to know the opposition

Barça has yet to confirm the team who they will play against. It’s worth remembering that in recent editions Barça have come up against AC Milan (2010), Manchester City (2009), Boca Juniors (2008), Inter Milan (2007) and Bayern Munich (2006).

The same week as the Super Cup in Monaco

The match will be played in the same week as the European Super Cup, but with enough time to prepare for the game against Oporto (August 26th), which takes place in Monaco.

Also the day for the Supporters Clubs congress and get together

As well as the Gamper, on August 22nd the World FC Barcelona Supporters Cub Congress will be held, that this year, following the one in San Sebastian, will be taken over by the Club itself.
