The team will then attend Spanish football’s flagship match between leaders Barcelona and second-placed Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid.

Wuhan Zall have been conducting their pre-season campaign in Andalusia in the south of Spain since January and have remained in the region since the start of the new league season was postponed indefinitely by Chinese authorities.
