This team has become a symbol of Catalan nationalism, due its great success and of course the popularity rather its craze among the people. The team has an uplifting motto "Mes que un club" that just means "more than a club". This successful football team was started by Joan Gamper on November 29, 1899. Joan Gamper was a football fan from Switzerland and he himself didn't realize that his dream team would become so popular among the masses and would have such a big fan following.

Under Franco's dictatorship, the team's name was forcibly changed to Club de Futbol Barcelona in 1939 and the Catalan symbols and language was banned too .
