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. Jack Greenwell was the first fulltime club manager from 1917 to 1924 under which club grabbed 6 tournament honors.

  • Basque Soccer Madness a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    University of Nevada, Reno Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Basque Studies (Anthropology) by Mariann Vaczi Dr. Joseba Zulaika/Dissertation Advisor May, 2013 Copyright by Mariann Vaczi All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Mariann Vaczi entitled Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Joseba Zulaika, Advisor Sandra Ott, Committee Member Pello Salaburu, Committee Member Robert Winzeler, Committee Member Eleanor Nevins, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2013 i Abstract A centenarian Basque soccer club, Athletic Club (Bilbao) is the ethnographic locus of this dissertation. From a center of the Industrial Revolution, a major European port of capitalism and the birthplace of Basque nationalism and political violence, Bilbao turned into a post-Fordist paradigm of globalization and gentrification. Beyond traditional axes of identification that create social divisions, what unites Basques in Bizkaia province is a soccer team with a philosophy unique in the world of professional sports: Athletic only recruits local Basque players. Playing local becomes an important source of subjectivization and collective identity in one of the best soccer leagues (Spanish) of the most globalized game of the world. This dissertation takes soccer for a cultural performance that reveals relevant anthropological and sociological information about Bilbao, the province of Bizkaia, and the Basques. Early in the twentieth century, soccer was established as the hegemonic sports culture in Spain and in the Basque Country; it has become a multi- billion business, and it serves as a powerful political apparatus and symbolic capital.

  • Baa 2021-2022
    2021/2022 FC BARCELONA Welcome back to the BARÇA Academy Family! Founded in 1899, FC Barcelona is unlike many other clubs around the world as members own the club and decide the board of directors in a democratic election. Hence the club motto “Més que un club” which translates to “more than a club”. “More than a club” is at the heart and soul of FC Barcelona, and is transferred to its world- renowned youth soccer system, BARÇA Academy. Each and every player around the world within BARÇA Academy is connected to one another. This means the unique Barça game philosophy and style you see in the world-famous Camp Nou, FC Barcelona’s home stadium in Barcelona, Spain, is the same that Barça Academy players will try to implement and practice every day following the same club’s training methodology AUSTIN | 2021 / 2022 LA MASIA MODEL FC Barcelona's youth academy. La Masia, translated to "The Farmhouse" in English in honor of the original academy house, is the term used for FC Barcelona's youth academy located in Spain. The Academy currently includes more than 300 young players and is the first youth academy in the world to have trained all three finalists for the Ballon d'Or in a single year (Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, and Xavi). The Academy has been a significant factor in FC Barcelona's European success. Many attribute FC Barcelona's success to the La Masia "Philosophy of Play" which all players learn. The philosophy consists of the application of "total football" mixed with traditional Spanish one-touch play.

    226 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY 2019/20 AND OBJECTIVES 2020/21 227 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY 2019/20 Outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic • The 2019/20 season will be marked by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has unfortunately affected and continues to affect millions of people around the world. As for the impact on our club, the pandemic led to the implementation of the state of alarm on 14 March 2020, which consequently led to the stoppage of all professional sports competitions, as well as the total closure of the Club's facilities. During the month of June 2020, the Club was able to partially reopen its facilities, complying with all the established protection and hygiene measures; and on 11 June 2020, the La Liga competition recommenced. • However, the Club has suffered financially from the consequences of these measures, as the matches being resumed had to be played behind closed doors, while the influx of visitors to the facilities, as well as the sale of Club products, have also been affected by the reduc- tion and limitations on international tourism. Additionally, the Euroleague Basketball competition has been cancelled, and this has also generated an associated loss of revenue for this reason. • It is with this in mind that we include below in the Club’s management report an estimate of the main financial impacts that the global 228 Covid-19 pandemic has had on the Club (in thousands of euros) and which has been sent to the Spanish National Sports Council (Consejo Superior de Deportes, CSD): Figures as at Estimated

  • The Role of Football in Spain
    THE PHENOMENON OF FÚTBOL IN SPAIN: A STUDY OF FÚTBOL IN SPANISH POLITICS, LITERATURE AND FILM Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Timothy Joseph Ashton, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish & Portuguese The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Samuel Amell, Advisor Ignacio Corona Dionisio Viscarri Copyright by Timothy J. Ashton 2009 Abstract This investigation serves to demonstrate the multifaceted connection that the sport of fútbol has with certain aspects of Spanish society, namely, this cultural phenomenon’s long relationship with Spanish politics, literature and film. Since the formation of Spain’s very first club teams, the sport of fútbol has always demonstrated a strong connection with Spain’s historical socio-political disputes. These disputes have become essential elements in making up the very fabric of Spain and range from questions of nationhood, to questions of identity, culture, politics, ideologies and economy. Throughout this study, I address the dispute that has been taking place between the intellectual classes and the fútboling community and defend that although the relationship between intellectuals and fútbol has not been as public as fútbol’s relationship to politics, it has however existed throughout the entire history of the sport. Many intellectuals have deemed the sport of fútbol as an unsuitable topic for intellectual areas such as literature and artistic mediums like film. In this study, I uncover that some of Spain’s most highly praised literary figures had a passion for the sport which they alluded to, sometimes on numerous occasions, as central themes in their work.

The first Spanish ultra groups emerged after the 1982 World Cup held in Spain. Mainly mimicry of both Italian and English supporter styles, the Spanish ultras separated themselves from the indigenous ‘peña’ culture emphasizing instead a more active and visible approach to football fandom. This movement, often heavily supported by the clubs, subsequently spread to other clubs in Spain’s First and Second Divisions. In the second half of the 1980s, mainly due to the increasing politiciza- tion of the ultra groups and the eruption of the skinhead youth subculture, violence became an intrinsic feature of the ultra movement and at times created widespread social panic. The escalation of violence finally resulted in the fragmentation and decline of traditional ultra groups and the emergence of alternative fan groups explicitly opposed to violence. These developments set in motion a complex pattern of rivalries and allegiances strongly influencing contemporary Spanish
