Barcelona vs Chapecoense: TV channel, stream, kick-off time & Joan Gamper Trophy preview

The yearly Camp Nou curtain-raiser will be used to honour the victims of the plane tragedy that devastated the Brazilian club and rocked football

Barcelona will welcome Chapecoense to Catalunya on August 7 when the teams face off in the annual Joan Gamper Trophy match.

The game is intended as a tribute to the victims of the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of 71 people, including the majority of the Chapecoense team, last November and will take place at the Camp Nou.

It will be a sombre occasion as Barca honour the people who lost their lives in the accident, as well as the families of those involved, in their traditional season curtain-raiser.
