Spanish media "Marca" reported that Barcelona decided to cancel the friendly match to Libya and refund the 5 million euros it has collected.
One of the ways Barcelona generates revenue is to participate in friendly matches. This income is very helpful to the finances and is also important to meet the rules of fiscal fair competition, because any form of income is counted. Therefore, last summer the club arranged tours in Japan and South Korea, earning more than 15 million euros. Against this backdrop, the club continues to look for new opportunities for friendly matches. One date that was considered was during the next international match day, from October 6 to around 15, depending on the time of the South American football team's return. Management has taken action and plans to play a game in Libya during that period. Barcelona's appearance fee is 5 million euros, and the advantage of this game is that the organizer understands that the players have national team competition tasks and does not require top stars to attend.
The game has been completely finalized and the agreement has been signed. Barcelona has received a corresponding 5 million euros. After experiencing the incident where the Summer Tour payment failed to arrive in time and threatened to cancel the trip, the club took protective measures this time to collect payments in advance to avoid problems.
However, Barcelona itself has decided to withdraw from the game. The club decided not to go because safety guarantees are not optimal for a team like Barcelona. After internal discussion, it was finally decided to cancel the competition and refund the 5 million euros collected.
