Fans treated to free FC Barcelona Fan Party and Open Training Session at Accor Stadium
May 12, 2022

Marking their historic first visit to Australia, and ahead of their match against A-Leagues All Stars, FC Barcelona are staging a free Official Fan Party and Open Training Session at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on 24th May.

The Official Fan Party and Open Training Session (featuring both the A-Leagues All Stars and FC Barcelona) will be free to all fans – but they must register their intention to attend this special event, to be held just 24 hours before the game.

Gates will open at Accor Stadium at 5:00pm on Tuesday 24th May with the A-Leagues All Stars taking to the pitch from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.

The superstars of FC Barcelona will take to the pitch from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, with the event finishing shortly after.

Thousands of Barca and A-Leagues fans are expected to take advantage of this free event and training session.

FC Barcelona Vice-President Marketing, Juli Guiu, said Barca were committed to leaving lasting memories for football fans in Sydney and enthused “we are excited to be offering our fans in Australia the opportunity to see the players ahead of the match against the A-Leagues All Stars in Sydney.

“This historic first visit to Australia gives us the opportunity to bring the Club and its values closer to our fans and it will also give us the opportunity for new audiences to get to know FC Barcelona and all that it represents.”

Ant Hearne, Chief Commercial Officer for A-Leagues notes “the Open Training Session is a unique opportunity for football fans in Australia to get close to some of the best players in Australia, alongside some of the best in world football.

“Tens of thousands of fans have voted for their A-Leagues All Stars, and this will be the first chance to see the team in action.”

Accor Stadium Business Development Manager Jordan Kerry said the Official Fan Party and Open Training Session featuring both the A-Leagues All Stars and FC Barcelona will be the perfect appetiser to the Barca in Sydney match on Wednesday 25th May.

Kerry adds “Interest in this historic first visit to Australia by FC Barcelona – one of the biggest clubs in world football – is extremely high so we are expecting a great turnout for the Fan Party and Open Training Sessions.

“The match itself is on track for a huge crowd and fans are encouraged to lock in their seats and be part of football history at Accor Stadium.”
