Ed Sheeran set to become latest artist to feature on Barcelona shirts for El Clasico as part of Spotify deal

The streaming giants have naming rights for Barcelona’s iconic Camp Nou home. Said venue is currently undergoing an elaborate renovation, with no date being set as yet for an official reopening.

Barcelona have been playing at the Olympic Stadium that was used for the 1992 Games in Catalunya. It is to that venue that Real Madrid will be welcomed when the Blaugrana seek to extend a run of four successive victories against the Blancos in all competitions.

According to RAC1, it has been determined that English singer-songwriter Sheeran will grace the front of Barcelona’s famous shirts. He dropped ‘Play’ on September 12, with the artwork from that album set to be used on Barca tops - with a ninth studio album already being confirmed for 2027.

Sheeran is a big football fan and owns a minority stake in Ipswich Town, the club that he supports. He is a regular at Portman Road and took in Premier League action with the Tractor Boys last season, before seeing them return to the Championship alongside the likes of Birmingham City and Wrexham.

He joins a long line of famous artists that have got the Clasico treatment down the years. The likes of Drake, Rosalia, the Rolling Stones, Karol G, Coldplay and Travis Scott have all formed part of the Spotify agreement - with the latter attending Barca’s dramatic 4-3 victory over Real back in May.
