From its beginnings, FC Barcelona has been a sports entity in which an important nationalist orientation has coincided with a culture of integration and global openness. The first characteristic was forged from the second decade of the 20th century, when the club became a symbol of Catalonia. The second could be detected throughout the 20th century, both in the foreign origins of its founders and in the majority of its star players, as well as in the inter-classism and universality that characterizes its followers. This article examines to what extent FC Barcelona can continue to be seen nowadays as an institution that articulates the local and the global in Catalan society.Keywords: FC BarcelonaCataloniafootballglobalization Additional informationNotes on contributorsRamón Llopis GoigRamon Llopis Goig is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Valencia (Spain).
