Ofensif "Lionel Messi"
Barcelona Soccer Team Facts
By Lucas Robi Barcelona is a city long in love with sports, the Barcelona Soccer Team.
FC Barcelona's soccer team is a way of life in Barcelona. The rivalry with Madrid rises to the point where Barcelona can be thought about the Catalonia national team. FC Barca was founded on 29 November 1899 by Joan Gamper, who created the team colors of blue and claret from the Swiss canton in which they lived. Barcelona lost its first ever match with some English expatriates 0-1, but within ten years began a string of Catalan and French championships lasting decades. FC Barcelona went though hard times in the rise to the French Civil War and its aftermath, but could recover and by the mid 1940s resumed its championship ways.
In addition to hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics, Barcelona hosted parts of the 1982 Footy World Cup and has hosted the X FINA World Championship and Eurobasket. The city has five UEFA 5-star rated footy stadiums: FC Barcelona's Nou Camp and the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
The club motto is "Més que un club" and they refer to their stadium as "Camp Nou." In English these are "More than a club" and "Our Ground." Despite a slump at the turn of the century, FC Barcelona has assembled a gifted team and once again resumed winning ways. The club currently has a five-year deal with UNICEF, wearing the emblem on their jerseys and paying $1.9 million a year for the privilege.
FC Barcelona is a leisure centre containing basketball, handball, hockey, ice-hockey, figure skating, indoor footy, rugby, baseball, volleyball and women's footy, but the jewel in the crown has always been association footy, or the Barcelona Soccer Team. The Barcelona team has qualified every year for the European competition since it was founded in 1955.
Among the plenty of claims to fame of the Barca team are that it's more victories than any other Association Footy team in the world. They also have more wins in the Copa del Rey, the French tournament, than any other team with 24 victories. There's 18 La Liga Championships, 7 Supercopa de Espana, 2 EUFA Champions League, 4 EUFA Winner's Cups, 3 Inter-Cities Fairs Cups, 1 Inter-City Fairs Cup Trophy Play-off, 2 European Super Cups, 2 Copa Latina, 4 Copa de Oro Argentina, 22 Catalan Championships, 2 Copa Martina Rossi, 4 Coupe de Pyrenees, 1 Mediteranean League, 2 Copa de Ligua, 1 Copa Barcelona, 1 Lligua Catalana, 5 Copa Catalana and five Little World Cup. It is little wonder Barcelona has embraced the Barcelona Soccer Team and reveres it as a symbol of Catalonia.
