Ass reported that Barcelona canceled the Japanese friendly match and the organizer accused the main sponsor of fraud.

FC Barcelona announced the cancellation of a friendly match originally scheduled for July 27 in Kobe. The club said that this was due to the organizer's "serious breach of contract". In response, the organizer D-Drive issued a statement, clearly accusing the main sponsor Yasuda Group of being the main responsible party for causing this situation. The statement mentioned: "Yasuda Group has repeatedly provided us with invalid and forged documents to mislead us about the payment situation, which we believe is intentional fraud."

D-Drive expressed support for Club Barcelona's decision to cancel the game and said it made the right choice. At the same time, the company also announced that it would take legal action against the Yasuda Group to recover all losses.

In addition, D-Drive said the incident will not affect Barcelona's two matches in South Korea. Unlike Japan, in South Korea, the organizers are fully prepared for the competition and bear all related expenses. Currently, only the air ticket fee remains. Therefore, Barcelona is likely to fly to Seoul on Sunday as planned, against Seoul FC in Seoul on July 31 and against Daegu FC in August 4 respectively.
