FC BARCELONA Futbol Club Barcelona also known as FC Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million (2011). The unique feature of the club is that unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

Lo cierto es que Pelé llegó al mundo al día siguiente de que la electricidad llegara a Três Coraçoes, pequeña población de Minas Gerais. Como homenaje al inventor, Dondinho decidió que ese negrito flacucho se llamaría Edison y así consta en el documento de identidad de Pelé, que siempre aborreció esa “i”. por cierto, el mismo documento dice que nació el 21 de octubre de 1940 cuando no es así: nació el 23. “¡Éste será un gran futbolista!”, dijo Dondinho al ver a su escuálida cría recién nacida.

Y en todo este tiempo, nada menos que durante veintidós años va a estar presidido por la misma persona, algo sin parangón en su historia, pues las presidencias más longevas - incluso sumando distintos períodos - no han excedido nunca de los 9 años. Tal honor ( que seguramente no alcanzará jamás ningún otro dirigente blaugrana ) le corresponde a un hombre que no ha nacido en Cataluña, aunque haya desarrollado allí, y concretamente en la Ciudad Condal, la mayor parte de su vida profesional y su trayectoria vital. José Luis Núñez va a ser el primer presidente barcelonista netamente democrático, entendido el término en el sentido de haber sido elegido por sufragio universal de todos los socios mayores de edad y con una determinada antiguedad en el Club, tal como correspondía a los nuevos aires que al país le trajo la Transición, en mayo de 1978, once meses después de las primeras elecciones libres en cuarenta años tras el final del Franquismo, y cuando aun se estaba elaborando la Constitución. Sistemáticamente reelegido - a veces sin oposición - en los años 81, 85, 89, 93 y 97, dimitió sorprendentemente de su cargo en mayo de 2000, cansado de recibir críticas y ser blanco de distintos movimientos de oposición a su gestión.
