The rumor that Karol G would be featured on FC Barcelona jerseys is no longer a rumor. The jersey, which features the Colombian singer’s signature barbed wire heart logo, will be worn by both FC Barcelona Femení and FC Barcelona.
FC Barcelona Femení will wear it during their game against Villarreal Femenino on April 13th. The men’s team, meanwhile, will wear it the following weekend in the La Liga El Clásico match as FC Barcelona takes on Real Madrid on April 21st.
“The heart symbol represents what became ‘Bichota’ style, a moment in my life where I found strength, resilience and support,” Karol G said about the collab. “Thanks to Spotify and FC Barcelona, seeing it on the front of a shirt that inspires so much of that same energy is truly meaningful.”
This Karol G jersey marks the fourth time FC Barcelona has collaborated with famous singers since signing the agreement with Spotify. Karol G will be the first Latina in this collaboration. The first three artists were Rosalía, Drake, and The Rolling Stones.
Marc Hazan, Spotify’s Vice President of Partnerships and Marketing, said of the partnership: “We are so proud to be celebrating the incredible success of Karol G through the iconic Barça jersey. Her music inspires a unique passion similar to that of the football club and it is amazing to bring the two together. As the biggest female Latina artist on Spotify and a trailblazer in her field, we knew Karol G was a perfect teammate for FC Barcelona.”
The limited edition jersey is now available to purchase via the FC Barcelona Store. Inspired by the club’s founding year, only 1899 are available for purchase. Additionally, the site is offering a special collection of 22 jerseys signed by the 11 starting men’s and women’s team players.
Spotify, FC Barcelona, and Karol G are also launching a limited edition lifestyle collection of merchandise, including t-shirts, hoodies, scarfs, beanies, and water bottles. The limited edition merchandise can be purchased now via KarolGmusic.com.
