A news that makes the ‘enthusiasm of the Larian fans fly: according to the Spanish newspaper SPORT , Como 1907 is the main candidate to play this edition of the Gamper tournament in Barcelona in memory of its president and founder of the club. It would be the first time that coach Fabregas faces his former team since he took over the bench. The date of the possible meeting between Barça and Como is also given and it would be August 10.
The possible clash between Barcelona and Como would have not only competitive value but also symbolic value. Cesc Fàbregas, who grew up in Barcelona’s youth academy and is a former first team player, would return to Camp Nou as a coach. For Barcelona, the Gamper – always has been – is an opportunity to test the team in front of its fans and show the progress of Flick’s new project before the official start of the season.
Now all that remains to be done is to wait for the official announcement to continue the fantastic journey of the Viale Sinigaglia club, which is increasingly launched towards the major European football stages. The Joan Gamper Trophy is an annual summer soccer tournament organized by Futbol Club Barcelona and played by the blaugrana team itself along with other clubs from the best leagues in the world.
The first edition of the tournament was in 1966 in memory of Hans Gamper, founder and former president of the club, and it has always been played at Camp Nou, except for the 1990, 1996, 2023 and 2024 editions, played at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and the 2021 edition played instead at the Johan Cruijff Stadium. In 2005 the trophy was won by Juventus and in 2012 by Sampdoria. From 2013 to 2023 Barcelona won continuously while last year’s edition saw Monaco excel.
