Rafa Yuste Leads Barcelona Delegation to Oslo Dinner Ahead of Women’s Final

FC Barcelona president Rafa Yuste will head the club's official delegation to the women's Champions League final on Saturday. He will also attend the UEFA‑organized dinner in Oslo on Friday, where European football officials will be present. The final is scheduled for Saturday at 18:00, broadcast on TV3 and Disney+ in Spain. Barcelona will face Olympique Lyonnais, the reigning champions, in the decisive match. The Oslo dinner, arranged by UEFA, will gather Aleksander Ceferin, president of the European governing body, together with the Olympique Lyonnais board. The event provides a formal setting for club representatives to meet before the final. Olympique Lyonnais will be represented by South Korean billionaire Michele Kang, whose investments are reshaping women's football. Kang's presence highlights the growing financial support behind the sport. Michele Kang also owns stakes in the London City Lionesses and the Washington Spirit, illustrating her cross‑continental involvement in women's clubs. Her portfolio spans Europe and the United States. Former Barcelona sporting director Markel Zubizarreta will travel to Oslo as the sporting manager of the French side that will oppose Barcelona in the final. Zubizarreta's role underscores the strategic preparation of both clubs. With club officials present in Norway, Barcelona aims to translate administrative support into on‑field success. The final will determine the champion of Europe's premier women's competition.
