Barcelona continued their US tour by hosting an event on popular hotspot, Venice Beach in Los Angeles.

They organised a series of sporting activites in which the Barca women's team, the Barca foundation and the Barca academy of San Diego took part.

There was a big fan zone with a football pitch on the beach for fans and both vice president Jordi Cardoner and director of the New York offiice Xavier O'Callaghan were present, along with Barca legend Luis Garcia.

Among the activities fans enjoyed was a skills championship where participants showed off their abilities, as well as an area to take shots on goal. There were three on three games too.

This is the eighth time Barca have gone on tour in the USA. Numbers that speak to the importance of the north American market. Since September 2016 they have had a permanent office in New York.
