Barcelona schedule US friendly with Club America - due to take place just 24 hours after La Liga fixture with Almeria

The Blaugrana have organised a friendly against Club America for late December, due to take place with very little time for the Spanish side to recover and fly to Dallas.

The fixture comes just four months after Xavi's side embarked on a lengthy trip to America for their 2023-24 preseason tour. They have played in Dallas before, beating Real Madrid 3-0 in a summer clasico. According to Sport, a cut of the proceeds from the match will be donated to relief efforts for Hurricane Otis, which hit Mexico a few weeks ago.

This is the second time Barca have announced a fixture with a quick turnaround this year. They flew to Japan on June 6 to take on Vissel Kobe, a game that kicked off less than two days after the final contest of their 2022-23 title-winning season.

Barca's next fixture is on November 25, when they will line up against Rayo Vallecano in a La Liga clash.
