Sounders FC to host Barcelona August 5

This year’s annual Arsenal alumni football match has been moved to Royal Brougham Park. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm on August 5th.

From Prost Amerika:

FC Barcelona having progressed to the European Champions League Final have announced another big date. In Seattle.

They are to be Sounders FC’s opponents in the third extra game of the season ticket package, to follow the visit of the side they conquered in that semi-final, Chelsea, and the MLS final already announced.

Barça (as they are colloquially known) are one of the world’s most popular and successful clubs and are almost certain to win the Spanish League, known as La Liga, and are also in the Copa del Rey Final, the Spanish Cup. They will tour the US Pacific coast, taking on the LA Galaxy on Saturday, August 1 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday, August 5 at Qwest Field in Seattle (10:30 p.m. ET). A third US tour game will be added and announced later.

Tickets to see the Catalan giants, whose honours include 18 La Liga trophies, a record-setting 24 Copa del Rey championships and two UEFA Champions League titles, will go on sale to the general public in the coming weeks. We will bring you details as soon as we have them.
