History History of the FC Barcelona History History History History of the FC Barcelona History History History of the FC Barcelona Early years (1899-1908) The ad in Los DeportesOn 22 October 1899 Joan Gamper placed an advert in Los Deportes declaring his wish to form a football club. A positive response resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Sole on November 29. Eleven players attended: Gualteri Wild, Lluís d'Ossó, Bartomeu Terradas, Otto Kunzle, Otto Maier, Enric Ducal, Pere Cabot, Josep Llobet, John Parsons, and William Parsons. As a result Foot-Ball Club Barcelona was born. Several other Spanish football clubs, most notably Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, also had British founders, and as a result they initially adopted English-style names. Joan Gamper used his past to form the team. Prior to forming this club, he played for Swiss clubs like FC Basel and FC Zurich. Even with forming the colors and crest of FC Barcelona, he looked back on his past clubs. He took Basel's colors and parts for the crest to form his new club. FC Barcelona quickly emerged as one of the leading clubs of both Catalonia and Spain as they competed in both the Campionat de Catalunya and the Copa del Rey. In 1901 they won their first trophy when they won the Copa Macaya and in 1902 they also played in the first Copa del Rey final, losing 2-1 to Club Vizcaya. With Gamper's seal (1908-1923) In 1911 Joan Gamper became club president for the first time. Gamper took over the presidency as the club was on the verge of folding. The club had not won anything since the Campionat de Catalunya of 1905 and its finances suffered as a result. Gamper was subsequently club president on five separate occasions between 1908 and 1925 and spent 25 years at the helm. One of his main achievements was to help Barça acquire its own stadium. On March 14 1909, it moved into the Carrer Industria, a stadium with a capacity of 6,000. Gamper also launched a campaign to recruit more club members and by 1922 the club had over 10,000. This led to the club moving again, this time to Les Corts, which inaugurated in the same year. This stadium had an initial capacity of 20,000, later expanded to an impressive 60,000. Gamper also recruited Paulino Alcántara, the club's all time top-scorer with 356 goals, and in 1917 appointed Jack Greenwell as manager. This saw the club's fortunes begin to improve on the field. During the Gamper era FC Barcelona won eleven Campionat de Catalunya, six Copa del Rey and four Coupe de Pyrenées and enjoyed its first golden age. As well as Alcántara the Barça team under Greenwall also included Sagibarbá, Ricardo Zamora, Josep Samitier, Félix Sesúmaga and Franz Platko. Rivera, Republic and Civil war (1923-1939) eZ Publish PDF export 1 of 6 In the midst of the glorious 20's, Barca suffered of non-sporting conflicts which were to mark the following decade. On 14th June 1925, during Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, the crowd at a game in homage to the Orfeo Catalan jeered the Royal March and as a reprisal the ground closed for six months, later reduced to three, and forced Gamper to give up the presidency of the club. The club's founder, after a period of depression brought on by personal and money problems comitted suicide on July 30 1930. Although they continued to have players of the standing of Josep Escolà, the club now entered a period of decline, in which political conflict overshadowed sport throughout society. Barca faced a crisis on three fronts: financial, social, with the number of members dropping constantly, and sporting, where although the team won the Campionat de Catalunya in 1929-30, 1930-31, 1931- 32, 1934-34, 1935-36 and 1937-38, success at Spanish level evaded them. A month after the civil war began, Barça's left-wing president Josep Suñol i Garriga (a.k.a. Josep Sunyol) was murdered by Franco's soldiers near to Guadalajara. In 1937, the squad was on a tour in Mexico and USA in which the team was received as an ambassador of the fighting Second Spanish Republic. Moreover, it proved the financial saving of the club, also resulted in half the team seeking exile in Mexico and France. On 16th March 1938 the fascists dropped a bomb on the club's social club and caused serious damage. A few months later, Barcelona was under fascist occupation and as a symbol of the 'undisciplined' Catalanism, the club, now down to just 3,486 members, was facing a number of serious problems. C. de F. Barcelona (1939-1974) Club shield during the Franco dictatorship. After the Spanish Civil War, the Catalan language and flag were banned and football clubs were prohibited from using non-Spanish names. These measures led to the club having its name forcibly changed to Club de Fútbol Barcelona and the removal of the Catalan flag from the club shield. During the Franco era one of the few places that Catalan could be spoken freely was within the club's stadium. In 1943, at Les Corts, for the first leg of the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid, the result was a 3-0 win for Barça. Before the second leg, Barcelona's players were threatened to a changing room visit from Franco's director of state security. He 'reminded' them that they were only playing due to the 'generosity of the regime'. Madrid side won that game 11-1. Despite the difficult political situation, CF Barcelona enjoyed considerable success during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1945, with Josep Samitier as coach and players like César, Ramallets and Velasco, they won La Liga for first time since 1929. They added two more titles in 1948 and 1949. In 1949 they also won the first Copa Latina. Coach Fernando Daucik and Ladislao Kubala, regarded by many as the club's best ever player, inspired the team to five different trophies including La Liga, the Copa del Generalisimo, the Copa Latina and the Copa Eva Duarte in 1952. In 1953 they helped the club win La Liga and the Copa del Generalisimo again. The club also won the Copa del Generalisimo in 1957 and the Fairs Cup in 1958. With Helenio Herrera as coach, a young Luis Suárez, the European Footballer of the Year in 1960, and two influential Hungarians recommended by Kubala, Sándor Kocsis and Zoltán Czibor, the team won another national double in 1959 and a La Liga/Fairs Cup double in 1960. In 1961 they became the first club to beat Real Madrid in a European Cup game, thus ending their monopoly of the competition. The 1960s were less successful for the club, with Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid monopolising La Liga. The, finished completion in 1957, of the meant Camp the Nou club had little money to spend on new players. However the decade also saw the emergence of Josep Fusté and Carles Rexach and the club winning the Copa del Generalisimo in 1963 and the Fairs Cup in 1966.

Johan Cruijff. Already an established player with Ajax, Cruijff quickly won over the Barça fans when he told the European press he chose Barça over Real Madrid because he could not play for a club associated with Franco. He further endeared himself when he chose a Catalan name, Jordi, for his son. He helped the club win La Liga for the first time since 1960, along the way defeating Real Madrid 5-0 at the Bernabéu. He was also crowned European Footballer of the Year while at club. The stability years (1978-1988) Josep Lluís Núñez was elected president of FC Barcelona in 1978. His main objectives were to establish Barça as a world-class sports club and to give the club financial stability. In 1979 and 1982 the club won two of four European Cup Winners' Cups won in the Núñez era. In 1982 Diego Maradona was signed for a world record fee from Boca Juniors. However his time with Barça was short-lived and unsuccessful and he soon left for Napoli. At the start of the 1984/85 season, Terry Venables was hired as manager and he won La Liga with stellar displays by German midfielder Bernd Schuster. The next season, he took the team to their second European Cup final, only to lose on penalties to Steaua Bucure?ti. After the 1986 World Cup, English top scorer Gary Lineker was signed along with goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta but the team could not achieve success while Schuster was excluded from the team. Terry Venables was subsequently fired at the beginning of the 1987/88 season and replaced with Luis Aragones. That season finished with a rebellion of the players against president Núñez known as the Motin del Hesperia and the 1-0 victory at the Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad.

It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million (2011).

  • LEARNING from the BEST Gabriel Masfurroll
    LEARNING FROM THE BEST Gabriel Masfurroll Foreword I first met Gabriel Masfurroll in the seventies, when he was a teenager and a competitive swimmer. At that time, swimming played a very important part in my life because the European Championships held in Barcelona in 1970, in which I participated actively, were an excellent yardstick for the Olympic Games of 1992. Masfurroll was living in the Residencia Joaquín Blume in Barcelona, run by my friend Ricardo Sánchez, and we had good friends in common such as Santiago Esteva and Maria Paz Corominas, swimmers who in their day were key figures in Spanish sport. I shall never forget something ‘Gaby’, as his friends call him, said to me when he was still very young: “Mr. Samaranch, when I grow up I want to be like you and match your achievements. I also love sport and believe I can do a lot for it”. It comes as no surprise to me, then, to see Masfurroll holding positions of responsibility in leading sporting institutions. A few years later, I met up with “Gaby” again when he was head of the Quirón Clinic in Barcelona. Since then we have kept in touch on a regular basis. We have met and written to each other on numerous occasions and I recall a beautiful picture, on display at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, which he gave me on one of his visits. I have followed his career very closely over these years and that phrase “when I grow up I want to be like you”, made me take a keen interest in both his personal and professional development.

URL: https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2012/04/josep-lluis-nunez-i-clemente- barakaldo-1931-1%c2%aa-parte/ Resumen Date : 1 abril 2012 El Barça cumplió sus primeros 112 años de vida el pasado 29 de noviembre de 2011. 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.

Brasilien, wo wir am Ende einer wunderschönen WM den vierten Titel in der Geschichte des DFB feiern konnten, ist mittlerweile längst schon Vergangenheit, wenn wir heute erneut auf Irland treffen. Im dritten Qualifikationsspiel zur EM 2016 in Frankreich, wozu ich Sie und unsere sympathischen Gäste von der „Grünen Insel“ sehr herzlich willkommen heiße. Bereits im ersten EM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen Schottland wurde deutlich, dass es nach der WM tatsächlich vor der EM heißt, dass man auch als Weltmeister keinen Freifahrtschein zum nächsten großen Turnier beanspruchen kann. Auch wenn der 2:1-Sieg verdient war – es war ein sehr schwieriges Spiel gegen einen leidenschaftlich auftretenden Gegner. Bei der Niederlage am vergangenen Samstag in Warschau gegen Polen war das genauso. Ähnlicher Widerstand wird, da bin ich mir sicher, heute auch von den Iren zu erwarten sein. Eine weitere Parallele zum Schottland-Spiel wird in der leidenschaftlichen Unterstützung der Iren durch ihre Fans jetzt auch in Gelsenkirchen deutlich werden.
