Barcelona the home of sport

Part 4 – 

Hello again, this blog will be focused on sports within Barcelona and why it’s so famous all over the world.  These places which will be discussed in this post are places which I have visited.

Barcelona Football Club, was founded on 29 November 1899 by Joan Gamper, it is the second most valuable sports team in the world, worth $3.56 billion and the world’s second richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €560.8 million.  Barcelona has over 200 million fans worldwide, which is also one of the top 3 most supported clubs in the world. The Famous home of Barcelona, the Camp Nou stadium which holds 99,358 seats, which makes this the biggest stadium in Europe.

The Camp Nou stadium is available to visit by their stadium tour, if you decide to visit the stadium I highly recommend it that's attending a game or tour, even if you’re not a football fanatic I can guarantee you’ll have an amazing experience visiting the stadium.  Another reason to visit the tour is that the price is fantastic which is only at 32 euros for adults and children under 16 is only 20 euros. Also with the tour you will get to see all the trophies which the club has won and greatest achievements which their players have also one. You will also get to see Lionel Messi five Ballon d'or winnings, this award is given to the best footballer of the year.  By visiting the tour I was able to see and touch this award and was able to meet some of Barcelona great legends.

Also Barcelona is very well-known by their basketball team, this was founded on 24 August 1926 but wasn’t until 1930 the basketball team became well established in Catalonia. I would also recommend going to these games as Barcelona always put on a great performance as they are the best in the leagues in both football and basketball.
