Barcelona’s women’s team, known as Barcelona Femení, has wrapped up their preseason preparations for the 2025-26 season with a convincing 2-1 victory over Club América. This win marks the conclusion of their third consecutive preseason tour in Mexico, showcasing their readiness as they aim for a successful season ahead.
The Blaugrana’s triumph in Mexico follows their earlier success, having defeated the Liga MX All-Stars on penalties just days prior. Under the guidance of coach Pere Romeu, the team has achieved a perfect record during this preseason, also securing a win against Badalona in the Copa Catalunya title match a week ago. These victories provide a strong foundation as Barcelona Femení prepares to defend their domestic treble and pursue a sixth consecutive UEFA Women’s Champions League final.
Shortened Preseason and Rising Talents
This summer has presented unique challenges for Barcelona Femení, as the team had a significantly shorter preseason than usual. Many players participated in the Women’s Euros, with nearly half of the squad advancing to the final alongside Spain. The Catalan club also faced financial difficulties, resulting in the departure of several key first-team players. Consequently, the team is expected to rely heavily on emerging talents from their academy to navigate the upcoming season.
One standout performer during the Mexican tour was 17-year-old midfielder Clara Serrajordi, who impressed with her skills in the match against Club América. Her performance, along with others from the club’s academy, suggests a promising future for the team as they integrate younger players into the first team.
Season Opener on the Horizon
Barcelona Femení’s official season opener is set for this Sunday, when they will face newly-promoted Alhama in Matchday 1 of the new Liga F season at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. With their recent successes and the integration of young talent, the team aims to build on last season’s achievements and strive for further glory in both domestic and international competitions.
As the new season approaches, the anticipation surrounding Barcelona Femení continues to grow, with fans eager to see how the team will perform under the new circumstances and challenges.
