BARCELONA FOOTBALL GROUND
Welcome to Bairdstravel`s guide to Barcelona`s main Football staduim  

Barcelona has a long sporting tradition and hosted the successful 1992 Summer Olympics as well as several matches from the 1982 Football World Cup. It has also been host to the X FINA World Championships and twice of the Eurobasket.

 

       

 

FC Barcelona is a sports club best known for its football team, one of the biggest in Europe, twice winner of the UEFA Champions League. FC Barcelona also has teams in the Spanish basketball ACB league (AXA FC Barcelona), the handball ASOBAL league (FC Barcelona-Cifec), and the roller hockey league.

                         

 

 

The club's museum is the second most visited in Catalonia. RCD Espanyol is the city's other Liga football team. Barcelona also has other clubs in lower categories, like CE Europa and UE Sant Andreu.

Barcelona has two UEFA 5-star rated football stadiums: FC Barcelona's Camp Nou and the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, used for the 1992 Olympics and the current home of Espanyol, pending completion of the club's new stadium.

The museum was inaugurated in 1984 under the presidency of Josep Lluís Nuñez. The museum shows 1,420 pieces of Barça's history, of which 420 are trophies. The inauguration ceremony of the 1982 World Cup was held on 13 June. In front of a 100,000-strong crowd, Belgium beat Argentina 1–0.

 

   

 

The Camp Nou also hosted musical performances and other non-football events. Artists who have performed at the stadium include:
