Jordi Torras Badosa

Jordi Torras started playing futsal at Palma de Cervelló, but spent most of his youth years at FC Barcelona, and made his first team debut at the age of 16. Hr remained from 1996 to 2003, before joining another Catalan club Miró Martorell. At the time, Barça’s futsal team was still only semi professional and Torras was aiming for bigger things, playing for a club that alternated between the top flight and second tier of the Spanish game.

In a year at Martorell he wan the Copa Catalunya (which he had already won in 2000 with FCB), and was then signed by Polaris World Cartagena, one of the top teams in the División de Honor, and where he gained experience before changing again, this time to Inter Movistar. That was when the biggest titles started coming his way. In Madrid, Torras won everything, a Liga title, the Spanish Cup, the Super Cup and the UEFA Futsal Cup. With such success also came a regular place in the Spanish national squad.

After seven seasons at the highest level, he is returning to FC Barcelona where the section is now fully professional and aiming for the very top. “Coming back to Barça is a homecoming. I am coming to a club with a great project and whose ultimate aim is to win titles”, he said on signing for his new club.
