F.C. Barcelona will play with the logo of Play, Ed Sheeran’s eighth studio album, on the shirt that will be worn in the Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26, 2025.
The program ‘Tu diras’, presented by Aleix Parise on RAC1, reports that the logo and the letters, in yellow, will be located in the same place that other artists have occupied on the Barca shirt.
An image of Ed Sheeran wearing a Nike T-shirt with the Play logo and the Barcelona badge has already been leaked on social media.
