The Asian preseason tour of the first football team has shown that the supporters’ club movement is alive in every corner of the world, thanks to the collaboration of the FCB World Federation. Following the example of what has been seen in the United States in recent years, Asian supporters’ clubs seized the opportunity to get closer to their idols and express their Barça passion.
In the first match of the tour, held in Japan, it was already clear that Barça supporters’ clubs are always by the team’s side, even when it means traveling thousands of kilometers. The two matches in South Korea also had the backing of the supporters’ club community. PB Seoul hosted the first match, while PB Everest from Nepal brought more than ten members from Nepal to support the team.
Additionally, before the third and final match of the tour, an official reception was held for the Barça delegation, led by president Joan Laporta, where representatives from PB Shanghai and PB Japan gathered.
These displays of commitment prove that the supporters’ club movement acts as an ambassador of Barça fandom around the world. The clubs are now eagerly awaiting the start of the league in Mallorca next Saturday, August 16, to once again show their dedication to Hansi Flick team.
