The Barça Academy Pro New York, the Barça Academy Jordan, and the Barça Academy Bucharest were visited by men's first team players Fermín and Diego Kochen, and Barça Women player Jana at training this morning. It was a great moment for all the young players from three of the Barça academies from around the world, as they could meet some of their heroes. They had photos taken with their idols, and grabbed a few autographs to take home with them. Jana made the most of the occasion to give advice and encourage the Barça Academy Pro New York girls team to keep working hard during a question and answer session.

The three academies have trained at the Ciutat Esportiva's facilities during their time in Barcelona, with the Barça Escola coaches helping them improve and fine tune their skills. Additionally, the academies and other teams played some matches against each other to measure their progress in football terms.

A week full of blaugrana activities

Almost 200 children have participated in the different activities during their stay in Barcelona. In addition to the training sessions, the youngsters went on the Barça Immersive Tour, visited the Barça Megastore, travelled on the first team's coach, received a visit from the Club's mascot Cat, and watched Hansi Flick and his team play Rayo Vallecano at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys when they went back top of the league. The Barça Academy Pro New York were also there to watch Barça Women defeat Madrid CFF 5-1 in the Liga F fixture.
