Barcelona Femení has wrapped up its preseason preparations for the 2025-26 season with a decisive 2-1 victory over Club América in Mexico. This win marks the conclusion of their third consecutive preseason tour in the country, showcasing the team’s readiness ahead of the new season.
Prior to facing Club América, Barcelona secured a dramatic victory over the Liga MX All-Stars, winning on penalties. This latest triumph means that the team, under the management of Pere Romeu, has emerged victorious in all three of their preseason matches, including a recent win against Badalona in the Copa Catalunya title game.
Preseason Highlights and Challenges
Barcelona’s shortened preseason is primarily due to the significant participation of their squad in the Women’s Euros, where many players, including several key team members, advanced to the final with Spain. The tournament placed additional demands on the players, limiting their preparation time for the upcoming season.
The summer has been particularly challenging for the Catalan club, as they lost several first-team players due to financial constraints. Consequently, the team will need to lean on their academy talents to navigate the season effectively. The objective remains clear: defending the domestic treble while striving for a sixth consecutive Champions League final and aiming for their fourth European title.
Despite these challenges, the performances during the Mexico tour have been promising. Notably, 17-year-old midfielder Clara Serrajordi delivered an impressive showing against Club América, indicating a bright future for the young talent within the squad.
Looking Ahead to Liga F Season
Barcelona’s competitive season officially begins on August 27, 2025, with Matchday 1 of the new Liga F season against newly-promoted Alhama at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. As the team gears up for this encounter, the focus will be on integrating their academy players with the established squad to maintain their status as one of the top teams in women’s football.
With a successful preseason behind them, Barcelona Femení is poised to tackle the challenges ahead in both domestic and European competitions.
