FC BARCELONA ACCEPT PROPOSAL TO PLAY CATALAN SUPER CUP ON SEPTEMBER 26.
FC Barcelona has accepted the proposal put forth by the Catalan Football Federation to play the Catalan Super Cup on September 26. The Catalan Football Federation proposed a single matchday for both the Catalan Super Cup and the Catalan Cup. The President of the Federation, Andreu Subies, explained this Monday that the four clubs involved in the competition have 48 hours to accept or decline the proposed date.
This new date is coming on the heels of an earlier cancellation of the tournament after FC Barcelona communicated that Barça B would represent the Club in the Catalan Super Cup. Josep Maria Bartomeu, the Club Vice-President responsible for the football area had explained: “we made the decision in view of the full schedule of games which our first team have to fill, together with the unavailability of the international players and especially bearing in mind what happened to Marc Muniesa we were worried about the risk of injuries. We decided to announce this well in advance, to avoid any possible disappointment for the fans”.
This however did not go down well with the organisers of the competion who claimed the decision by the club was an affront to the competition and to the whole Catalonia region hence the decision to come to a compromise on an agreeable date for the teams concerned.
FC Barcelona also issued out a communique in which they expressed amongst so many points that.

The Club regrets that institutions like the Catalan Football Federation and the Secretary General of Sport want to interfere in the decisions of team managers on what the best available FC Barcelona team is for the Catalan Super Cup.
