Barça has pulled out of its next friendly match in Tangier. The club was due to play it on August 15 with the men's first team.

The reason is "the current climate of uncertainty." Barça believes the right conditions are not in place and announced this in a statement.

Without naming it directly, the statement refers to the political tension between Spain and Morocco following the mass entry of Moroccan migrants into Ceuta.

The friendly was part of the team's summer preparations. Its cancellation forces the club to revise the preseason schedule.

Barça has not yet announced an alternative opponent or venue. For now, the club is simply confirming the cancellation.
