Barcelona will begin preparing for the Gamper Trophy, a friendly against Brazilian club Chapecoense on August 7.

The Brazilian club is still trying to recover from the tragedy that struck it last year.

The plane Chapecoense chartered to fly to Medellin, Colombia, to face Atletico Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana final crashed on November 28, killing 71 people.

Based in the small southern city of Chapeco, Chapecoense was languishing in the fourth division of Brazilian soccer as recently as six years ago and fans across the football-mad nation rallied behind the club ahead of the Copa Sudamericana final.  Delhi High Court Serves Notice To MS Dhoni For Alleged Breach Of Agreement
