FC Barca ini lahir pada 29 November 1899.♥
Futbol Club Barcelona, (often known simply as Barcelona and familiarly as Barça is a Spanish professional football club, based in Barcelona, Spain. They play in La Liga, and is one of the only three clubs to have never been relegated.
Founded as Foot-Ball Club Barcelona in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English, and Spanish footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (English: More than a club). The official Barça anthem is the "Cant del Barça" written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the world's second richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turn-over of €366 million. The club holds a long-standing rivalry with Real Madrid, and matches between the two teams are referred to as "El Clásico".
FC Barcelona is the most successful club in Spanish football in terms of overall trophies, having won twenty La Liga titles, a record twenty-five Spanish Cups, nine Spanish Super Cups, and two League Cups. It is also one of most successful clubs in European football, having won ten UEFA competitions. It is the only European club to have played continental football every
season since 1955. In 2009, Barcelona became the first club in Spain to
win the treble consisting of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
That same year, it also became the first football club ever to win six
out of six competitions in a single year, thus completing the sextuple, comprising the aforementioned treble and the Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Birth of FC Barcelona (1899–1922)
On 22 October 1899, Joan Gamper placed an advertisement in Los Deportes
declaring his wish to form a football club; a positive response
resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Solé on 29 November. Eleven
players attended—Walter Wild (the first director of the club), Lluís d'Ossó, Bartomeu Terradas, Otto Kunzle, Otto Maier, Enric Ducal, Pere Cabot, Carles Pujol, Josep Llobet, John Parsons, and William Parsons—and Foot-Ball Club Barcelona was born.
FC Barcelona had a successful start in regional and national cups, competing in the Campionat de Catalunya and the Copa del Rey. In 1902, the club won its first trophy, the Copa Macaya, and participated in the first Copa del Rey, losing 1–2 to Bizcaya in the final.
Gamper became club president in 1908, the club in financial difficulty
after not winning a competition since the Campionat de Catalunya in
1905. Club president on five separate occasions between 1908 and 1925,
he spent 25 years in total at the helm. One of his main achievements was
ensuring Barça acquire its own stadium and thus generate a stable
income.
On 14 March 1909, the team moved into the Camp de la Indústria, a larger stadium with a seating capacity of 8,000 people. From 1910 to 1914 Barcelona participated in the Pyrenees Cup, which consisted of the best teams of Languedoc, Midi, Aquitaine (Southern France), the Basque Country, and Catalonia. At that time it was considered the finest competition open for participation. During the same period, the club changed its official language from Castilian to Catalan
and gradually evolved into an important symbol of Catalan identity. For
many fans, supporting the club had less to do with the game itself and
more with being a part of the club's collective identity.
Gamper launched a campaign to recruit more club members, and by 1922
the club had over 20,000 members and was able to finance a new stadium.
The club to moved to the new Les Corts, inaugurated the same year. Les Corts had an initial capacity of 22,000, which was later expanded to 60,000. Jack Greenwell was recruited as the first full-time manager,
and the club's fortunes began to improve on the field. During the
Gamper era, FC Barcelona won eleven Campionat de Catalunya, six Copas
del Rey, and four Pyrenees Cups, its first "golden age".Honours
