Pre-match
Having not played an All Stars game since the 2014 edition against Juventus, on 6 April 2022, the A-Leagues announced the return of the concept for the match against Barcelona. It is the first time Barcelona has visited Australia.
The game was in the same week as the 2022 A-League Men Grand Final. Players participating in the Grand Final did not play in the All Stars Game.[1]
On 27 April 2022, it was announced that former Sydney FC midfielder Dwight Yorke will coach the A-Leagues All-Stars.[2] The appointment was criticised by Football Coaches Australia, who argued that the All Stars coach should be an A-League Men or Australian national team coach.[3] On 13 May 2022, it was announced that Yorke's assistants would be Rob Stanton, Heather Garriock and goalkeeping coach Davide Del Giovine.[4]
The match was Barcelona's first ever game in Australia, the 68th country in which Barcelona has played.[5]
