Barca, as mentioned, will cross the Atlantic Ocean to participate in the latest International Champions Cup at the end of July.

Their first stop will be East Rutherford, New Jersey - just outside New York City - for a match against Juventus at MetLife Stadium on July 22. The most expensive stadium ever built at a cost of $1.6 billion (more than double the price of Barca's upcoming renovation of Camp Nou), it is the 82,500-seater home of the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.

Barca will then fly an hour south to Washington D.C. for a July 26 clash against Manchester United. That will take place at the Washington Redskins' FedEx Field, which holds 82,000 fans, in nearby Landover, Maryland.


Three days later is the biggest one of the lot; after a two-and-a-half-hour flight to Miami, Florida, the Blaugrana will face Real Madrid on July 29. The Miami Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium will host that one - the first Clasico played outside of Spain for 25 years - and a 65,000-plus sell-out can be expected in a city with a large Spanish-speaking population.

Additional fixtures could be added before and after the ICC, but the only one we currently know about is the annual Joan Gamper Trophy at Camp Nou. This year's opponents will be Chapecoense, with Barca inviting them to take part in the match after the horrific plane crash that killed 71 people in November of last year. No date has been finalised for that match as of yet but it will take place sometime in early August.
