The party for Barça members and Supporters Clubs has kicked off this morning and will go on until August 22nd
Adults and children are welcome. The Barça Party is now a reality and the forecourt of the Camp Nou
is already awash with members, and supporters’ club members, who have come to take part in
the planned activities.
There are activities for the younger kids, like table football or 7-a-side football, as well
as for older children who can participate in the various workshops organized by the Club, as well
as playing the more traditional table games. All participants will receive some sort of present,
like Barça scarves for example.
Top attraction
One of the areas that the fans have focused on most is the one where the 16 cups won
last season are displayed. Adults and kids are having their photographs taken with the trophies won
in the 2010/11 season. In addition, the Club has also included the Spanish Super Cup, won last week
against Real Madrid.
The other activity that has attracted most public has been the book of wishes, which Barça
has made available so that attendees can write in it with their hopes for the current season. One
of the most popular messages has been: "See you in Munich" referring to the city where the next
Champions League Final will be played. The other major attraction has been the hot-air balloon,
which allows fans to get a great view of the Camp Nou from the air.
Water to combat the heat
Due to such high temperatures being recorded in Barcelona today, the Club has
provided each attendee with a ticket to be able to cool off and stay hydrated in the current heat
wave. In addition, there are refreshments for members and supporters clubs.
Institutional representation
This evening several Barcelona Directors will be present. At the head of these will
be the Club's Vice President and head of the Social Area, Jordi Cardoner i Casaus, who will also
attend the dinner that will kick off the XXXIV World Meeting of Supporters Clubs and the 32nd
Supporters Club Congress.
