Birmingham City will play a friendly match against Barcelona
Birmingham City will host Barcelona in a friendly in preparation for the upcoming Championship season.
Birmingham City continue their preparations for the new Championship season, including a prestigious friendly match at their stadium against Spanish champions Barcelona. The event will take place on Friday 31 July at St Andrews Stadium as Chris Davies' side take on the five-time European champions.

The teams had previously met five times, all in the Fairs Cup, now known as the Europa League, including the 1960 final, which Barcelona won 4-1 on aggregate. Birmingham City CEO Jeremy Dale said: "Barcelona are a powerhouse in world football and have chosen us to kick off their pre-season campaign. People can see there is an exciting story unfolding here. Hosting one of the world's most iconic teams with such a rich history and global following is a fantastic opportunity as we prepare for the new season."
The new Championship season starts on the weekend of 14-16 August, with the match schedule to be published on 25 June.
