- Joan Laporta briefed Hansi Flick, sporting director Deco and the team captains about the Lima proposal during a meeting at the Ciutat Esportiva.
- Organizers are targeting the last two weeks of December after Barcelona’s final LaLiga fixture, which would require coordinating players’ holiday periods and labor terms with the AFE.
- Because the match would fall outside a FIFA window, Peru would likely rely on domestic-based call-ups under interim coach Manuel Barreto.
- Sound Music Entertainment is identified as the promoter behind the €7–8 million offer, after initial plans to face Universitario collapsed and as Barcelona seeks to offset roughly €11 million lost from canceled games in Miami and Libya.
