Three Barcelona players called up for new FIFA U-15 World Cup in Baku

Three Barcelona academy players — Lucas Bernal, Víctor Barbany and Divine Ikenna — have been called up to Spain's U-16 squad for the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup in Baku, October 24–30.

Barcelona's three academy prospects Lucas Bernal, Víctor Barbany and Divine Ikenna have been selected for Spain's U-16 squad (born 2011) competing in the first FIFA U-15 World Cup and Festival in Baku from October 24–30. The trio were chosen from a squad of just 14 players due to the tournament's unique format.

Bernal will play left defence, Barbany will anchor midfield after joining from Leganés this season, and Ikenna will lead the attack. The players will report to the Spanish Football Federation's training centre on October 20 before travelling to Azerbaijan on October 22, where they will stay at the FIFA Athletes' Village.
