The club confirmed the collaboration on social media, writing: “Ed Sheeran joins Barça. It’s time to play.”
Sheeran’s “Play” album emblem will appear on Barcelona’s home kit for the high-profile clash on 26 October, following his recent public appearance wearing a shirt combining both logos.
The move continues Barcelona’s ongoing partnership with Spotify, which has previously featured global artists such as Drake, Rosalía, The Rolling Stones, and Karol G on the team’s kits.
