Known as Barça, the Futbol Club Barcelona is a club from Spain that include multiple sports, but football is the most famous one. The club of soccer was founded in 1899 by the leader Joan Gamper in corporation with a group of Swiss, English, and Catalan men. Now, the club has become a foundation under the slogan Més que un club (More than a club).        (Authors of the website http://football-tickets.barcelona.com/the_club).

The club is one of the most famous clubs in the history of Spanish, European and international football. It had won many trophies through the participations in different competitions such as Champions League, La Liga, and La Copa Del Rey.        (Authors of the website http://football-tickets.barcelona.com/the_club).

Like any other club, the club of Barcelona has a main stadium named Camp Nou, also it has a huge number of club members. More than that, it has a reserve team which is FC Barcelona B, a junior team which is FC Barcelona C, and four other clubs in different sports which are basketball, handball, futsal, and hockey.   (Authors of the website http://football-tickets.barcelona.com/the_club).

‘’An agreement that has made Barça unique’’(Authors of the website http://www.fcbarcelona.com/web/english/club/club_avui/mes_que_un_club/mesqueunclub.html) is the fact that the club has decided to give 0.7 per cent of its net profit to the FC Barcelona Foundation to help in the development of the international cooperation programs. More than that, the club gives a sum of money to Unicef each year for a period of five years in order to participate in the humanitarian aid programs. For that, we considerate that “The slogan ‘more than a club’ is open-ended in meaning.” (Authors of the website http://www.fcbarcelona.com/web/english/club/club_avui/mes_que_un_club/mesqueunclub.html), and that is one of the principal causes that make of FC Barcelona one of the most popular clubs in the world.    (Authors of the websitehttp://www.fcbarcelona.com/web/english/club/club_avui/mes_que_un_club/mesqueunclub.html).
