Men's open doors training session on December 29 at Estadi Johan Cruyff

Next December 29 at 11am CET, the Estadi Johan Cruyff at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper will be hosting the men's team's traditional open doors training session that the FC Barcelona Foundation holds each year as a charity fundraiser. This year all of the proceeds will be going to the new Blaugrana Wristbands project to improve long-stay and serious illness patients at children's hospitals.

The projects are carried out in collaboration with pediatric hospitals in Catalonia and around the world. The main objective is to humanize the care and treatment of children and young people with serious illnesses, based on the needs identified at each centre.

Members who fancy coming can purchase their tickets at a unique price of €3 within the next 24 hours. After this period, other fans will also be able to purchase tickets at a price of €6. In both cases, there will be a handling fee of €1 per ticket. Each member may purchase up to 6 tickets, 4 of which will include the member discount.

This year, one of the new features will be the presence of the new mascot CAT, which was unveiled at the 125th anniversary gala held at the Liceu opera house on November 29.

Once they have finished training, the players will be going on their traditional Christmas visits to children’s hospitals in the Barcelona area.
