Ali Al-Harbi asserted – “There is an idea from the Spanish Football Federation to extend an invitation to the Saudi Al-Nasr (Al-Nassr) club to come to Spain and play matches with Real Madrid and Barcelona ‘as a mini-tournament’ in early 2024 AD ‘to fulfill the desire of the fans there'”. From his statement, it can be depicted that the Spanish hierarchy is aiming to organize this event with their soccer fans in mind.
With the recent norm of cross-country clubs playing against each other via organizing several short-competitive tournaments, this possible meet-up between Al-Nassr, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona can’t be ruled out. It remains to be seen if, shortly, the Spanish Federation comes up with any particular dates for the speculated showdown in Spain.
