Among the more than one hundred and fifty guests was Daniella Levine Cava, the Mayor of Miami-Dade County, who welcomed Barça on behalf of the City. Also present were former Club players Hristo Stoichkov and Kun Agüero, who are Miami residents.

President Laporta, in his speech to the guests, explained how this summer's tour was a great opportunity to bring the Club closer to its fans in the United States and to transmit the values and characteristics that make Barça such a unique institution, such as its emblematic style of play — which has been recognized throughout the world — and its unwavering commitment to social endeavors.
