The return of Andrés Iniesta to Barça will be announced in style: the former footballer, already retired, will wear shorts again in a legendary Clásico to be played in Kobe. However, Joan Laporta has confirmed that it won't be just any Clásico, as Iniesta will return to the island of Kobe to play a futsal match.

It will be Andrés Iniesta's first time in Kobe since leaving the Japanese club, with whom he played for several seasons before moving to the United Arab Emirates.

The event will be held on May 24 and 25 at the new Glion Arena in Kobe, a venue with a capacity for 10,000 spectators. The match will bring together all kinds of legends, including Andrés Iniesta, Romario, and Saviola. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will have the presence of figures such as Pepe, Coentrao, and Emerson.

Andrés Iniesta, who is training as a coach, will wear Barça's colors again with the legends team. The Manchego is already a regular at these events, as he recently played another friendly in Mexico, where he paired with Xavi Hernández.

The event will also feature historic players from Barça's futsal section such as Jordi Torras, Javi Rodríguez, Paco Sedano, Esquerdinha, and Fernandao. There will be two days: on the first, fans can enjoy skill contests and open talks, and on the second, the Clásico between culers and Madridists will be held.
