Barcelona - Al Ahly: what time and in which stadium will the Joan Gamper Trophy be played?

FC Barcelona will host Al Ahly of Egypt in a prestigious showdown as part of the Joan Gamper Trophy, the traditional summer event held annually in honor of Joan Gamper, the founder of the Catalan club.

Date, time and stadium of Barcelona - Al Ahly

The match is scheduled for August 19 at the Spotify Camp Nou, located in the Les Corts district of Barcelona. Kick-off is set for 18:00 GMT.

This clash will be a historic occasion for Al Ahly, who will become the first Egyptian and African club to participate in the Joan Gamper Trophy—widely regarded as one of Barça's main dress rehearsals before the launch of the new season.

Barcelona - Al Ahly: history heavily favors the Catalans

The head-to-head history between the two clubs is clearly in favor of FC Barcelona, who have triumphed in all three previous encounters.

The Blaugrana claimed a 6-1 win in 1961, then dominated the Red Devils 4-0 in 2007 during Al Ahly’s centenary. Their most recent duel dates back to the 2009 Wembley Cup, once again won by the Catalans with a 4-1 scoreline.
