Barcelona’s pre-season preparations seem to have descended into chaos ahead of their scheduled flight to Asia.
The Catalans had been due to fly to Japan on Thursday for a first friendly against Vissel Kobe on Sunday but that match now looks to be off.
Barcelona have now issued the following statement:
“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 promotor.
“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 promotor.
