Details:

Founded on November 29, 1899 by Joan Gamper, a Swiss expatriate. Barcelona are the flagship of the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain. The club's motto is més que un club - More than a Club in Catalan - symbolizing their political and social importance. The club's president was killed by Francoist soldiers during the Spanish Civil War. This event and perceived persecution during the Franco era led to the club being seen as a symbol of resistance to Franco and of Catalan nationalism. This dynamic is played out in each and every meeting with arch-rival Real Madrid, proud standard-bearers of the Spanish center. The club's emblem includes the cross of St George (a symbol of historic Catalonia) and the red and yellow stripes of the Catalan flag, as well as the red and blue of the jerseys. Barcelona have never been relegated and are the only team to have competed in European competition in every season. Until 2000 the stadium was officially known as the Estadi del Futbol Club Barcelona, though always popularly called Camp Nou - the New Field. Los Culés nickname is derived from their time at the old Estadio Les Cortes - people would sit along the wall of the stadium watching the match, and all you could see from the streets were their asses.
