KAROL G Teams Up With Spotify and FC Barcelona To Release Special Matchday Shirts, Merchandise Collection, and Matchday Playlist

This shirt swap with KAROL G is celebrating those who change the game, overcome barriers, and leave a legacy for the next generation to express themselves on and off the pitch, as well as the stage.

"The heart symbol represents what became "BICHOTA"style-a moment in my life where I found strength, resilience and support," Karol G said. "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."

KAROL G-like FC Barcelona players-has been an inspiration for fans, and her success has been key in taking Latin music to new heights worldwide. With three songs in the Spotify Billions Club, KAROL G also set a record with her album MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO, setting the single-day record for the most-streamed Latin album by a female artist. Together, Spotify and FC Barcelona will celebrate the individuality, passion, and loyalty of football and music fans alike-Barça or "BICHOTA" style.

"We are so proud to be celebrating the incredible success of KAROL G through the iconic Barça jersey," said Marc Hazan, VP of Partnerships and Marketing at Spotify. "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 shirt is available for fans to purchase via the FC Barcelona Store. Inspired by the club's founding year, there will be 1899 exclusive jerseys for sale. Additionally, for superfans, the site will offer a very special collection of 22 jerseys signed by the starting men's and women's team players.

Spotify, FC Barcelona, and KAROL G are also launching alimited-edition lifestyle merchandise collection featuring T-shirts, hoodies, scarfs, beanies, and water bottles. The imagery brings together the vibrant, playful world of KAROL G and the passionate, energetic world of FC Barcelona-celebrating how fandom inspires us to show our colors.
