For the first time in history, FC Barcelona players will wear their names in Chinese letters on the back in the cup match against Real Madrid, as the club joins the celebrations of the Chinese New Year.
Similar to what Valencia did last weekend, incidentally playing against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, the Chinese names are placed just below the regular ones and not replace them - this is likely due to competition regulations.
This action is added to the video of congratulation for the Chinese New Year that was made by the Club and released this Monday, with the participation of first team players Leo Messi, Gerard Piqué, Marc-André ter Stegen and Samuel Umtiti.
The Barça Store Camp Nou and the Barça Store Passeig de Gràcia will put some limited units of these shirts with Chinese lettering on sale.

Extremely Limited: Macron Lausanne-Sport 26-27 130th Anniversary Kit Released
Swiss Super League club FC Lausanne-Sport and technical sponsor Macron have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit celebrating the club's 130th anniversary. Founded in 1896 under the original name FC Montriond, the Swiss side pays tribute to its foundational roots with a look directly inspired by the earliest outfits in club history.
The Macron Lausanne-Sport 26-27 130th Anniversary shirt showcases broad alternating blue and white horizontal hoops across the body and sleeves, framed by a neat crew neck collar. Honoring its heritage, the jersey swaps the contemporary LS crest for the historic FC Montriond badge on the chest alongside the Macron Hero logo. The kit is complemented by simple white shorts and white socks to finish a faithful retro aesthetic, while a matching pale green variation has been crafted for the goalkeepers.
The special shirt will not be released for general retail sale. Only 130 individually numbered copies have been produced, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Fans will have the chance to win the shirts via a charity raffle benefiting the club's youth development fund during the official anniversary match against FC Thun at the Stade de la Tuilière on November 1, 2026, where the team will wear the kit in action.
