On Saturday 17 January 2026 at 7.00pm local time (2.00 am in Barcelona), Barça Legends are set to play a match for the third time in Mexico in under a year. The 33,000 capacity Morelos stadium will host the match between the team and a group of former Morelia players, the Leyendas de Morelia. The game can be watched live on the YouTube premium channel.

The full list of players who will travel is yet to be announced, but Barça Legends can already count on the services of Rafa Márquez, Javier Saviola and Marc Crosas. Morelia Leyendas will feature players such as Raúl Ruidiaz, Shaggy Martínez, Bofo Bautista and Hugo Droguett, among others.

Third time in Mexico

The match in Morelia will be the third blaugrana visit to Mexico after the games played in Toluca and Monterrey respectively. The first time was in April 2025 against Real Madrid Leyendas in Toluca that ended in a 2-2 draw. A penalty shootout decided the winner after 10 penalty kicks. The second time was in August when FC Barcelona defeated Tigres Leyendas 2-3, with David Villa grabbing a hat-trick.
