TO BARÇA's FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD

Considering that many BARÇA's fans oway from CATALUNYA have asked what "MORE THAN A CLUB" really mens, it wa our responsability to explaine it as well as possible.
It is only natural that our friends from such far oway places as Japan or Chile, may think that BARÇA is a football club, which it is, the best in the hole world, but it is also a lot more, much more, like the strepitous screams that we hear at Camp Nou, "BARÇA, BARÇA, BARÇA" at the end of the anthem.


In the first place, FOOTBALL CLUB BARCELONA is the sportive essence os Catalunya, as important to of us, as our flag, our emblem or our Catalan Anthem. It is our souls raising thier fists while defending our traditions, moral values and dreams.
On second hand, "MORE THAN A CLUB" means that BARÇA also handles many sports for men, whomen and children, somo more competitive than others, some professional in sucha extremes that have acumulated over 300 Championshps up to now. Besides football, within BARÇA we compete in HANDBALL, BASKETBALL, INDOOR FOOTBALL, JOCKEY ON ROLLERS, FIELD HOCKEY, WATER POLO, BASEBALL... you name it. If one day stone breaking or book reading became team competitive sports, you can be sure that Barça would put up a team good enough to compete anywhere.

As far as other sports is concerned, BARÇA's teams are as good as the 50 football teams in the Club. Barça's basketball team has been the only one  autise ABM to bit Los Angeles Lakers in history.
