The Catalan side will arrive in Mexico as champions of Europe and Spain.
After lifting yet another title a few days ago, Tigres Women’s side confirmed what every fan of the club has been waiting for as they will take on Barcelona this September.
The team from Monterrey will play their friendly match against the Catalan outfit on 1 September at the Universitario stadium, during the European club’s tour of Mexico, where they will also play against América on 29 August at the Azteca.
“Club América and Club Tigres continue with the objective of maximising the Women’s League at an international level, as they will host FC Barcelona, current Champions League and Spanish League Champions, at the Azteca Stadium and the Volcan,” the club said in a statement.
“These matches, organised by Soccer Media Solutions, will allow both clubs to measure themselves against one of the biggest clubs in the world.”

The Blaugrana will arrive in Mexico as the champions of Europe, and will be the second international club that Tigres will face after their clash against Bayern Munich in the Amazon Cup, where they won 1-0 at home.
