Barcelona will play the match following their pre-season tour of Asia, where they will face Vissel Kobe, FC Seoul, and Daegu FC.
Hansi Flick’s side will then face Como in a last match before the start of the new La Liga season.
The Joan Gamper Trophy match will be a historic one as it will see the two sides meet for the very first time in Barça’s 125-year history and Como’s 118-year history.
