Barcelona have confirmed they will take on Cesc Fabregas’ Como side in the Joan Gamper Trophy next month.
Como had been tipped to be the opponents for the traditional curtain-raiser and the match has now been confirmed.
The two sides will meet at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on August 10. The game had been due to take place at Camp Nou but had to be switched as the stadium isn’t yet ready.

The Gamper match will be the first time the two sides have ever met but will see plenty of familiar faces in Barcelona.
Fabregas will return to his former club and will bring with him ex-Barca players Sergi Roberto and Alex Valle.
Barcelona will play the match after their pre-season tour of Asia that will see them come up against Vissel Kobe, FC Seoul and Daegu FC.
Hansi Flick’s side will then face Como in a final fixture before the start of the new La Liga campaign.
