Gamper, the founder, conceived a sports club in Barcelona, with assistance from Catalans and foreigners
FC Barcelona, founded in 1899 by a group of young foreigners
living in Barcelona, was the result of the increasing popularity of
football, and other British sports, across Europe. These origins have
conferred upon the Club its intercultural identity, multi-sport focus
and its deeply-rooted allegiance to Barcelona and Catalonia.
The
foundation of the Club coincided with a time when people were becoming
interested in playing sport in Catalonia; this social context and
Catalonia’s idiosyncratic culture led to the creation of a new model of
modern leisure.
Joan Gamper, the Club’s founder, was the
inspiration and driving force behind the Club’s first 25 years. His
commitment to FC Barcelona went far beyond his role as player, director
and president.
