Club info
Origins
FC Barcelona was founded in 29 November 1899 by the Swiss Hans Kamper. As a 22-year-old he was actually on his way to Africa where his plan was to help his uncle set up a trading company in sugar. However, he ended up staying in Barcelona. He loved football and started, together with some English and Swiss supporters, the “Barcelona Football Club” following his advert in the sports magazine Los Deportes.

Kamper, who later changed his name to Joan Gamper, chose blue and purple as the club colours and appointed himself as the first captain of the team. He played 48 games between 1899 and 1903, in which he scored more than 100 goals. Thereafter he was president for many years and the driving force behind the continued growth and development of the club. He was less fortunate in his private life. Plagued by personal and financial problems, he committed suicide on July 30, 1930. As a tribute to the founder of the club, FC Barcelona still plays the annual opening game of the season for the Joan Gamper Trophy.
More Than Football, More Than a Club
FC Barcelona is best known for the quality of its football, but Barça is more than just a football club. FC Barcelona is an all-sport club with professional, international top teams in basketball, handball, futsal (5-a-side) and field roller hockey. These are all very popular sports in Spain. Furthermore, the club still has sections for amateur wheelchair basketball, athletics, rugby, baseball, volleyball, hockey, ice hockey and figure skating.
Besides the Nou Camp stadium, the club posses the adjacent Miniestadi, a stadium with a capacity of 15,000 spectators, where Barça B, Barça C, and sometimes the Barça youth team play their games. The basketball, handball and indoor football teams play their games in their own stadium, the Palau Blaugrana, which is located near the Nou Camp and has a capacity of over 7,000 spectators. Besides this, there is also a skating track on the Barça complex.
The slogan ‘més que un club’ - more than a club - indicates that it goes further than being just a sports club. The slogan shows that FC Barcelona stands as a deeply rooted symbol of Catalan independence and supports socio-political themes such as education, art and culture. FC Barcelona is, both in Catalonia and abroad, very active in social and humanitarian development.
The Logo Explained
The logo of FC Barcelona as we know it today was designed by Carles Coma Mala in 1910. He was a player for the club between 1903 and 1912, and also a medical student and gifted artist. He won a competition organized by the club to design a new club logo.
The logo was designed by Carles Comamala.
Since then, the ‘escudo’ has often been redesigned (most recently in 2002), but its core has not changed. The shape is still that of an "olla", a traditional Catalan food pot. The red cross on the white space on the upper left section is the Cross of Saint Jordi, the patron saint of Catalonia.
The section with the red-yellow strokes symbolizes the ‘senyera’, the traditional flag of Barcelona and Catalonia. The letters F.C.B. below are, of course, the initials of the club. The football in the lower section stands for the main sport in Barcelona, set on a background of blue and purple, the team colors.
Stadium Tour & Museum
The Stadium Tour is called the “Nou Camp Experience” by the club, and they are right as it includes a visit to the Barça Museum which is quite an experience. The museum is the most visited museum in the country! From the players’ dressing rooms to the press room, the VIP box, the thrilling player tunnel and the pitch, no part of the behind-the-scenes space remains a secret.
The museum is not just a collection of great prizes, with its 111-year history on display, but there are also several notable personal relics of players and coaches who were once active for the club. Tickets for the stadium and museum tour can easily be added online when booking your trip to FC Barcelona football on our website.
What Does “Cule” Mean?
Barça fans in Spain are generally referred to as “Cules”. It literally means “ass” or “butt”. This originates far back in the long history of the club. Between 1909 and 1922, FC Barcelona played its home matches in the L'Escopidora stadium.
Supporters who could not afford the ticket would often climb and sit on the walls that surrounded the pitch, to make sure they could see the game. Only their backsides were visible to passers-by outside the stadium, who gave them the nickname “Cules”.
Nou Camp
The Nou Camp - literally meaning "new field" - was opened on September 24, 1957 with a match between FC Barcelona and Legia Warsaw (4-2). The stadium has a capacity of 99,354 spectators and is 48 metres high; the field has a dimension of 105 x 68 metres. The Museum of FC Barcelona and the shop are located in the same complex. Besides football matches, pop concerts are also regularly held in the Nou Camp and on November 17, 1982 Pope John Paul II held a Mass in the stadium for 120,000 people.
Total Football
Dutch coach Rinus Michels introduced the so-called ‘total football’ style of play at Barcelona. A few years later the Dutch national team would, under the supervision of Michels, conquer the world with this distinctive style. It is extraordinary to see that this style of play is still fundamental to the way Barcelona plays today.
Canto del Barça (hymn)
For every home game the Barcelona fans passionately sing the anthem. This is always a very impressive moment. Memorise the words so that you can join almost 100,000 other fans singing "El Canto”!
Tot el camp, és un clam, (The entire field is a clamour)
som la gent blaugrana, (we are the Blaugrana people)
tant se val d'on venim, (no matter where we come from)
si del sud o del nord, (be it south or north)
ara estem d'acord, estem d'acord, (now we all agree, we all agree)
una bandera ens agermana. (a flag unites us in brotherhood) Blaugrana al vent, (Blaugrana with the wind)
un crit valent, (a valiant cry)
tenim un nom, el sap tothom: (we have a name everyone knows)
Barça! Barça! Barça! (Barça! Barça! Barça!)
Jugadors, seguidors, (Players, supporters)
tots units fem força. (all together we are strong)
Són molts anys plens d'afanys, (Many years full of zeal)
són molts gols que hem cridat, (many goals we have screamed)
i s'ha demostrat, s'ha demostrat, (and it's proven, it's proven)
que mai ningú no ens podrà tòrcer. (no-one will ever beat us)
Blaugrana al vent, (Blaugrana with the wind)
un crit valent, (a valiant cry)
tenim un nom, el sap tothom: (we have a name everyone knows)
Barça! Barça! Barça! (Barça! Barça! Barça!)
Experiences from our customers
It was effortless. A superb weekend, well organised, amazing seats (worth upgrading to the lower levels, the third tier is high) Took my 9 year old so suitable for lads and Dads. The staff at football breaks are so helpful and this made the whole experience that more enjoyable.

The booking process was made so easy and any optional extras you could possibly need catered for, we had transfer too and from the airport in Barcelona so simple. The hotel was good clean and tidy in a great location down a busy street with plenty of bars and places to eat. The match itself was amazing ended up 2-2 Barcelona vs valencia.The city is most likely one of the best iv ever been too the metro system is so easy to use and great value for money.
tip: Other than enjoying the match book a stadium tour and go see the cathedral in the middle
Service was amazing! Booking process was so simple, pick your match, flights (choose from multiple airports and travel companies) and your hotel. You can add taxi travel from airport to hotel etc. for an additional cost. Paperwork is all sent via email, easy to understand and received a few weeks before the date of the trip. We chose to attend FC Barcelona v SD Eibar and the atmosphere at the stadium during the match was electric. I can not express how friendly everyone was and very helpful when trying to find our seats. The seats we got were great, good view of the whole pitch and the tickets were sent in an email beforehand. I would use this company again, hassle free football break. Perfect. Definitely be booking again in the future.
tip: Use the Metro to get around Barcelona. Great price and easy to use.
We decided to book a surprise 21st Birthday present for my son Craig. Having looked at the options we booked the whole weekend package through Football Break. Flights, hotel, Camp Nou tour and football tickets. All the paperwork and information arrived a couple of weeks before the trip. Everything was easy to understand and the weekend arrived and everything went smoothly. We had a great tour of the Camp Nou on the Saturday, a fantastic evening in Barcelona and leisurely Sunday with the game at the Camp Nou Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere was something special and our seats were amazing. My son Craig said it was something he had dreamed of since a little boy. Watching Messi score 2 goals was the icing on the cake. We walked back to our hotel via a lovely Tapas bar Monday we had a leisurely wander around central Barcelona before our flights home. It was the perfect weekend one we will never forget. Thank you so much!
Tip: Get the train from the airport to central Barcelona we stayed next to Sants Train station the trip was simple one Train Three stops 4.30 euros each.
it was for my 70th birthday. I went with my Son and Son in law. the complete packaging was fantastic. I would like to thank Rebecca for the way she organised everything for us, including new flights when Monarch airlines went bust. The hotel was great, the Zenit Borrell is about 20 minutes walk from the stadium, and 20 minutes walk into the centre of Barcelona, or you can use public transport. the atmosphere in the ground was electric, just sit back and take it in. make sure you take loads of photos, and video some of the singing. The match was great Barca v Valencia. 2-1 Barca. we did the stadium and museum tour the next day, which was really good, you get to go behind the scenes and see everything, including all the cups they have won, shirts, even the changing rooms, well worth the price. If you're a football fan just do it. This IS the company to book with, I can't praise them enough for the way everything was done, and the way they looked after us.
Tip: most of the stadium is open, so if it rains (it did for us a bit) then you will get wet. try and book a seat under the roof, it's at the players entrance side of the stadium. it works both ways I guess, if it's very hot, you will be in the shade, and stay cool
All great start to finish
Had a great time thanks to all at football break for everything. Hotel and flight all ok.
Tip!
Metro very busy on match day so get to ground in plenty of time.
What a great service, hotel was very good and was within walking distance of the stadium and town. Tickets were at the hotel on check in. The seats were amazing, and got a great view of the magic man. Something that will stay with my forever. Thank You for fulfilling a dream
Tip: Great tapas bars away from Las Ramblas. Camp Nou is a booze free stadium. Bars around the ground serve beer.
An absolutely superb package put together by football break, I couldn’t fault it in any way. The flights were smooth, the hotel was brilliant and only a 5 min walk to the camp Nou. Match day was an experience we will never forget! Thanks football break for an unbelievable experience, would definitely recommend to any football fan, we are planning the next trip!! ??
We took our 7 year old grandson he had the time of his life very good oackage
brilliant!
tip: Buy a 48/72 hour metro pass it’s a lot cheaper & gives you airport to city centre travel & vice versa plus there is so much to see
Wife booked as surprise birthday pressie. Lovely welcoming hotel well sited for visiting different areas of Barcelona and just around corner from where Villa Real team were staying. Thoroughly enjoyed the match and the atmosphere. Best pressie ever
This was the second time I have used Football break and have found their service extremely professional and won't hesitate to recommend them and use them again in the future.
Everything was great other than the hotel. The location of the hotel was fine right on the rambles but the rooms were very out-dated and were in need of a complete revamp. The corridors and reception looked very modern but the rooms were decorated like the 70s. We asked the reception if they could order us a taxi to the stadium, which they refused and told us we need to go and flag one down in the street. Our understanding from all hotels we have stayed in that reception would order a taxi for us if asked. The football service was excellent, couldn't fault any of the trips/service we were provided.
The package was fantastic. The seats at the stadium were brilliant and had a very good view of the football pitch. The service was also very good from the representatives of FootballBreak and the city of Barcelona was amazing.
Tip: I would recommend them to use the metro instead of taxi's for travelling within the city, as the metro is much cheaper!
The experience of going to Barcelona and visiting Camp Nou for a game had been long overdue. We arrived for 3 nights on the Friday and spent that afternoon going to the stadium to do the tour. You get to see all around the stadium and view the the inside of the media centre, changing rooms etc. We then spent a couple of days enjoying Barcelona and many of its Bars before going to the game on the Sunday night. Hugely enjoyable and will definitely go again.
Tip: Do the Camp Nou stadium tour and use the Metro to get around.
The package was well worth it, I had a unforgettable time. I was seated above the ultras who didnt stop singing. Was a fantastic atmosphere. It was so easy to get to, I got the metro and my hotel was like 5 mins walk away from the camp nou which made it even more easier. The service i got from football break was fantastic they made my dreams come true and I would use them again without any hesitation.
Tip: Don't think about it and just go out and do it. The food was lovely, the people and the football ground was worth the tour and match.
I went to Barcelona with my two adult sons, primarily to see Messi. Great trip, great city, great game (6-1) anda truly great player
Easy to book, excellent and professional service topped off with a wonderful trip to watch Barcelona play
Tip: Get a hotel close to a Metro station
The price of our trip was reasonable and included The Hotel, Breakfast, Flights and Football tickets. It was amazing to watch my son so excited to see some of his favourite players wright in front of him. The package was very self explanatory and detailed everything you needed, even what Metro or bus was nearest to you. I would say that apart from the Football stadium, Football tour and maybe the Olympic stadium in Barcelona, there is not much that children will want to see.
Tip: If your planning to book the football tour, then make sure its NOT on a match day as they don't let you in to see the changing rooms or down the tunnel
