📖 A Brief History

FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 and has since become one of the most successful and beloved football clubs in the world. The club’s motto, “Més que un club” (“More than a club”), reflects its deep cultural and political significance in Catalonia.

Over the decades, Camp Nou has witnessed the brilliance of football legends like Johan Cruyff, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta, and Lionel Messi. It has hosted historic matches, including El Clásico showdowns and Champions League triumphs.

At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal is already putting his name among the greats at FC Barcelona. Born in Esplugues de Llobregat and a graduate of La Masia, Yamal broke records as the youngest player to debut for the club and score in La Liga, and in 2024 he became the youngest ever nominee for the Ballon d’Or. With his fearless dribbling, vision and composure, Yamal says he wants to stay at Barcelona for his whole career and become a legend. His early achievements already point to something very special — the future looks bright for Barcelona’s new football icon.
