Blaugranagram is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with FC Barcelona over a collaboration with the club for its upcoming encounter with Getafe.

As part of the solid working relationship between Blaugranagram and FC Barcelona, the parties have agreed on a collaboration, which will see Blaugranagram’s CEO and editor-in-chief, Omar Hawwash, guesting the Barca Live Match Center for the Catalans’ encounter with Getafe in LaLiga Santander this coming Saturday.

Hawwash will be guesting the match center shortly before the game, and at half time.

Last time the parties collaborated publicly was for the Catalans’ Champions League quarter-final encounter with FC Bayern Munich.

The Live Match Center can be watched on all of the club’s major social media channels with Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube being on that list.

Moreover, Hawwash will be the special guest on Barca TV+, the club’s exclusive online platform, where he, together with members of the club’s crew, will be doing post-game analysis of the Getafe encounter, taking place one week before the famed El Clásico.

Barcelona’s encounter with Getafe takes place behind closed doors this coming Saturday at 9:00 PM CEST at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

Getafe’s name change

For this encounter, Getafe have, as part of the campaign, dropped the first four letters of the club name, resulting in ‘Fe’, meaning faith.

According to the Madrid-based club, the campaign is ‘to raise awareness and inject encouragement into the fans in the face of the extraordinary difficulties that this 2020 is posing for the club and for society in general’ (h/t Football España). The club will thus, for their game against Barcelona, be referred to as Fe C.F., which also will be reflected on their shirts and stadium facilities used during the match.
