Annual December Spanish Autonomous Friendlies.

On Monday 28 November at 13:30 the FCF will officially present the annual holiday friendly for 2011: Catalunya -v- Tunisia.
The game will be scheduled for Friday 30 December at the Olímpic de Montjuic Lluís Companys with a 19:00 kickoff time.
Should be fairly competitive as Tunisia will be preparing for the African Cup of Nations that will begin in late-January.

Last year they beat Honduras in the Montjuic 3-0, while the year before that they whooped up on Argentina in the Camp Nou 4-2.

Galicia and Euskadi two other regional teams that usually play during late December are also yet to name their opponent.

Someone cut Cesc's hair off, please. This is getting embarrassing

Euskadi beat Estonia earlier this year 2-1 btw

I want to watch Catalonia vs Euskadi. Make it happen

confirmed the last 2 friendlies I was waiting on.

December 23rd - Galicia v Western Sahara/Sahrawi Republic - from La Riazor

December 28th - Basque Country v Tunisia - from San Mames

I wish they would do this in Italy... Miccoli Cassano Pugliese frontline. Campania would be stacked too

Biscaya and Catalunya should just play each other and the rest of Spain every Winter, IMO.

Good Quality matches. Hope it strengthens the national unity of Spain.

ugh... what is all this Catalunya talk *yawn*.

I wish we had a better team to face then Tunisia as I wanted a bigger challenge and to humiliate other top clubs and nations like we usually do.

And Lord Euskadi. I absolutely love that you are embracing your roots and I hope that continues throughout the forum.
