"Barca to host @Arsenal in Gamper match on August 4!," FC Barcelona tweeted.
"@FCBarcelona, We'll head to the Nou Camp to compete in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Sunday, August 4," Arsenal tweeted.
This match will serve as a pre-season friendly for the Spanish club ahead of LA Liga.
Arsenal will be making their first-ever appearance in the Gamper trophy.
Barcelona will be playing two matches in Japan which will act as friendlies -- against Chelsea in Tokyo on July 23 and versus Vissel Kobe in Kobe on July 27 before the La Liga is set to open in mid-August.
The La Liga will begin from August.
