Barca confirm opponent, day, and time for Trofeo Joan Gamper

It is already confirmed. After the rumours that revealed the intentions of Barcelona, the club itself made official that Elche will be their opponent in the 2020 Trofeo Joan Gamper.

Elche, like Barca, will start the season later, so they have a more free calendar in the next few dates. Elche will play again on matchday three after playing the play-offs that took them up to La Liga.

The match will be played on Saturday 19th at 19:00 (CET) and, as usual, the Camp Nou will be the stage of a new edition of the Gamper.

Before the offer from Barca, Elche had a friendly fixed for that same day. However, they told Atlético Baleares, their opponent, that they were interested in making the most of this opportunity.

It will be the first test that Ronald Koeman faces at the Camp Nou, after already managing Barcelona for the first time at the Johan Cruyff with a win over Nàstic.
