FC Barcelona, commonly known as Barça, is a professional soccer club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1899, the club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football, and is one of the most decorated and widely supported teams in the world. Known for its distinctive blaugrana colors and the motto 'Més que un club' (More than a club), Barcelona has long been synonymous with an attacking, possession-based style of play often called 'tiki-taka.' The club's home matches are played at the iconic Camp Nou, the largest stadium in Europe by capacity. Barcelona's fierce rivalry with Real Madrid, known as El Clásico, is one of the most watched sporting events globally, and the club has also built a historic rivalry with Espanyol in the Catalan derby. In recent years, Barcelona has navigated financial challenges while maintaining competitive success, including a La Liga title in 2022–23 and consistent deep runs in the UEFA Champions League. The women's team, FC Barcelona Femení, has set unprecedented standards, winning multiple UEFA Women's Champions League titles and dominating Spanish women's football.
