Futbol Club Barcelona,also known simply as Barcelona
and familiarly as Barça,
is a football club based in Barcelona.
The team was founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Spanish men
led by Joan Gamper.
The club has become a Catalan institution,
hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club).
The official Barça anthem is El Cant del Barça by Josep Maria Espinàs.
