Overview
- Reports in Peru and Spain say Barcelona will not travel to Lima in December for the proposed friendly.
- The decision is attributed to the AFE‑mandated Christmas break and the inability to bring forward the LaLiga match against Villarreal.
- Journalist Gustavo Peralta reports Barcelona remains bound to an event producer by contract and advances, with an estimated visit in February 2026 that has not been officially announced.
- The prospective opponent is undecided, with the Peru national team holding initial priority while clubs such as Universitario or Alianza Lima are also being considered.
- Spanish coverage notes a separate possibility of a short pre‑Christmas appearance in Morocco under evaluation, constrained by AFCON scheduling and AFE’s return deadline.
