Football fans in Kenya could be in for a thrilling treat this August, as plans are underway for a pre-season friendly between top-tier European clubs, FC Barcelona and Liverpool FC, in Nairobi.
With the 2025/26 season entering its final stretch, Barcelona and Liverpool have already begun laying out their pre-season plans, with Kenya currently a potential venue for hosting the two clubs.
If approved, the clash will mark one of the biggest football events ever hosted in Kenya, bringing two of Europe’s most iconic clubs to the East African nation.
For the Kenyan fans, the game would present an opportunity to watch live their favourite players from the two clubs, including the likes of Lamine Yamal and Pedri.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans would be eager to see stars such as Hugo Ekitike, the creativity of Florian Wirtz, and midfield engine Dominik Szoboszlai in action.
Potentially, the fixture could also rekindle memories of the famous 2019 UEFA Champions League semi-final, when Liverpool staged a stunning comeback to defeat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield.
While discussions are still underway, the Catalans are also considering another fixture in Morocco, with talks regarding the same still ongoing.
Should the plans materialise, the Barcelona-Liverpool August fixture could deliver unforgettable football memories for many Kenyan football fans.
