Barcelona Femení capped off their preseason preparations for the 2025-26 season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Club América on August 24, 2025. This win marked the conclusion of their third consecutive preseason tour in Mexico, where they demonstrated their strength and readiness for the upcoming campaign.
The team, led by coach Pere Romeu, secured all three victories during their Mexican tour. Earlier in the week, they triumphed in a penalty shootout against the Liga MX All-Stars and also defeated Badalona in the Copa Catalunya title match just a week prior. The success in Mexico has provided a morale boost for the squad, which has had a challenging summer.
Barcelona’s preseason was notably shorter than usual due to the participation of many players in the Women’s Euros, where almost half of the squad reached the final with Spain. This situation has forced the club to adapt quickly, especially following the departure of several key players due to financial constraints. The team will now rely significantly on their academy talents to navigate the season, aiming to defend their domestic treble and pursue a sixth consecutive UEFA Champions League final, with hopes of securing their fourth European title.
One standout performer during the tour was Clara Serrajordi, a promising 17-year-old midfielder. She played a crucial role in the match against Club América, showcasing the potential of Barcelona’s youth academy and hinting at a bright future for the club.
As the new Liga F season approaches, Barcelona Femení is set to begin their campaign on Sunday against newly-promoted Alhama at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The match will serve as an important test for the team as they seek to build on their successful preseason and establish momentum heading into the regular season.
