Barcelona Sporting Club recently issued an official statement to clarify its position regarding the friendly match known as ‘the match of history,’ played against Inter Miami. They emphasized that their involvement was limited to renting out the Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha and having their first team participate as guests. The club made it clear that it was not responsible for the organization or execution of the event, which was entirely managed by Molina Corp.

The statement from Barcelona SC comes in response to various complaints made by attendees regarding the event's organization. The club underscored that the logistics, operation, and security planning were handled directly by the organizing company in collaboration with local authorities. This clarification appears to be an attempt by the club to mitigate any potential negative associations stemming from the attendees' grievances.

By distancing itself from the responsibilities of the match’s organization, Barcelona SC aims to protect its reputation and maintain its focus on sporting activities rather than event planning. This decision highlights the complexities involved in organizing large-scale events, especially when multiple parties are involved.
