Barcelona will tour North America in the off season (Summer 2009). On the tour, Barcelona will face Dadiv Beckham’s Los Angles Galaxy, Seattle Sounders and another major league soccer club. Barcelona has a strong relationship with Major League Soccer (MLS) as the Catalans have five-year contract with MLS.
Barcelona will face Los Angles Galaxy on 1 August and then take on Seattle Sounders on 5 August. Club president Juan Laporta has said that the club is excited to tour USA and feature some of its great players and performances before Barcelona fans in the US. Last year, Barcelona tried to buy a new franchise in MLS, but later on changed their mind.
David Beckham is currently playing for AC Milan in Italian Serie A on loan, but will join Los Angles Galaxy at the end of the season. So, by the time, Galaxy will face Barcelona, Beckham will be available to feature for the MLS club.
