In a stunning crossover between global music and elite football, FC Barcelona has officially announced that the team will wear Ed Sheeran’s signature “Play” logo on their iconic blaugrana shirts for the upcoming El Clásico against Real Madrid on **October 26**. This marks the latest chapter in Barça’s unique collaboration with Spotify, their main shirt sponsor, which frequently features special logos from world-famous artists during major matches.
The “Play” logo, inspired by Sheeran’s latest album and world tour, will replace the usual Spotify branding, creating a collectible piece of football history. Barcelona’s players — including stars like Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Frenkie de Jong — will showcase the exclusive design at the Olympic Stadium in what promises to be one of the most anticipated clashes of the season.
Ed Sheeran, a self-proclaimed football fan, expressed his excitement: *“This is honestly surreal. To see my logo on a Barcelona shirt for one of the biggest games in football is something I’ll never forget. Music and football bring people together, and this is a perfect moment for that.”*
Limited edition shirts featuring the “Play” logo will be available to fans worldwide shortly after the match, continuing Spotify and Barça’s strategy of blending music culture with football heritage.
With millions of eyes expected to tune in for El Clásico, this collaboration is set to make headlines not only in the sports world but across entertainment globally.
