Al Ittihad set Barcelona date
(AFP) Tuesday 13 May 2008



Barcelona will travel to Saudi Arabia's port city of Jeddah to face Al Ittihad in a friendly on 26 May, the Spanish giants have revealed.

The match will be held at the 27,000-seater Abdullah al-Faisal stadium, which Al Ittihad, Saudia Arabia's oldest club, shares with local rivals Al Ahly. It will be the Catalan club's first visit to the country.

Plans for a game to be played in Kuwait have been put on hold for the time being, Barcelona added in a statement.

The match will be played six days after Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid are scheduled to face local side Al Nasr in Riyadh, the capital of Saudia Arabia.

Last year Barcelona also ended their season in the Middle East with a 4-0 win over Al-Ahly in Egypt. Bojan Krkic made his first-team debut during the friendly.

I wanted to wear a Milan jersey, and get a huge banner written on it "Come to Milan" or something like that
but too bad the game is canceled because of injuries to most first team players

But they'll come in September hopefully
