Barcelona will play a preseason game in Japan after contractual dispute with promoter is resolved
Barcelona said that its team was traveling to Japan where it will play a friendly against Vissel Kobe on Sunday.
The club said that it and the promoter have 'resolved all the issues that two days prior obliged Barcelona to cancel its participation' in the game. Barcelona has not named the promoter or given more detail about the dispute.
After Japan, Barcelona also plans to visit South Korea to play FC Seoul on July 31 and Daegu FC on Aug. 4.
Like other big clubs, Barcelona — which has struggled with large debts in recent years — uses the summer to play exhibition games abroad as a way to earn extra cash.

Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner shows off all-around game against the White Sox
Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Nico Hoerner delivered for the Chicago Cubs on Sunday — at the plate and in the field. Hoerner hit an RBI single and scored from first on Matt Shaw's double in the sixth inning of the Cubs' series finale against the Chicago White Sox. He also reached on an infield single in the second on the 14th pitch of his at-bat against Sean Burke. But Hoerner's best moment of the afternoon was a heady defensive play in the third at Rate Field. The White Sox had runners on first and second with one out when Chase Meidroth popped up to Hoerner at second base. Meidroth was called out via the infield fly rule, and Hoerner let the ball drop to see if any of the baserunners would try to advance. When Lenyn Sosa broke for third, Hoerner — a Gold Glove winner in 2023 — threw him out for the inning-ending double play. ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 3
