Why does this Braga Celta friendly matter?
Braga are also looking ahead to next Thursday, when they travel to Serbia to face Železničar Pančevo in the first leg of a UEFA Conference League qualifier. Tonight’s game is another step in that preparation cycle.
Celta Vigo enjoyed a strong La Liga season, finishing sixth to secure UEFA Europa League football. Pre-season friendlies help Claudio Giráldez assess depth before the 2026/27 campaign.
GhanaSoccernet reports that 20-year-old Ghanaian forward Bernard Somuah, a former Asante Kotoko player, is included in Celta’s first-team squad for the Braga friendly. He impressed with the reserves, helped Celta Fortuna’s run last season, and signed a four-year deal. The winger is among a 25-man list named for the Estádio Municipal de Braga game.
Celta’s pre-season slate continues after Braga with matches against Real Sporting and Académico de Viseu, then Sassuolo and Napoli, before La Liga resumes. For Braga Celta viewers, the priority tonight is simple: know the 19:30 BST start and have the UK stream ready.
