FC BARCELONA ANNOUNCE PRE-SEASON ASIAN DATES

Great news I would imagine for all the Asian readers of Spanish Football Sport with the announcement by FC Barcelona that they will visit the Asian region in the pre-season. The month of August will have installed three friendly matches to delight the Asian Barça followers:

China ( 3 rd  of August )
Thailand ( 7 th of August )
Malaysia ( 10 th of August )

The teams that they will play against are yet to be confirmed.

Its the 5 th time that FC Barcelona travels to the Asian region in the last 10 years. The reasons are heavily swayed towards the economical as the Asian - Pacific region is the fastest economic growing space on the planet. The potential earnings from this area for Football Clubs are tremendous with merchandising, sponsorships & TV rights broadcasting all being sources of income. Not only does Barcelona regularly visit Asia but so does Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal FC & AC Milan , just to name a few. 

So if your Asian or you will be travelling around Asia on the mentioned dates , keep an eye out for the ticket sales for the matches.

REAL MADRID PRE - SEASON 2011 SUMMER WORLD TOUR

Real Madrid 2011
SPANISH FOOTBALL Club REAL MADRID started on Monday ( yesterday ) their pre-season & flew off immediately to Los Angeles (USA) to begin their training sessions . Four players stayed back in Madrid that indicate the Coach Jose Mourinho does not count with them for 2011-2012; Pedro Leon, Sergio Canales (also with U-20 Spain duties), Drenthe & Lass Diarra.

Said this what it also signals is an intense couple of weeks of Friendly games & travelling that the actual Club has called the Real Madrid World Tour 2011. The Club Marketing Department has whipped up this video below to advertise their upcoming Friedly matches in the US , Europe & in Asia (China).

Although the video is a bit pretentious & at times "over the top", it is true to the marketing  policy of the Club & does do its work in informing fans across the World about dates & cities that the Spanish Football Club will be attending. With this last bit in mind & knowing that this site receives a big number of readers from USA & China I though I put on the video as an informative piece. Hope the team lands soon in your city.

For the FC Barcelona fans their team starts pre-season next Monday.
