FC Barcelona will face FC Basel at St. Jakob-Park, a historic stadium for the club, in a preseason match that marks a return to a place of great devotion for the Barcelona entity. The match, which will be played in the home of the Swiss club, will be the penultimate encounter before the start of the 2026/27 season and the last before the Joan Gamper Trophy, on August 21 against Al-Ahly. The match, which is expected to be another opportunity for Flick to continue testing and shaping his team's gears, also marks the return to a place of great cult for the club. And it is that Basel and St. Jakob-Park occupy an important space in the memories of the Barcelona entity, a city where Barça has played up to five official matches, some already engraved in the culé imagination.
