Barcelona Soccer Club (Part 02)


Birth of FC Barcelona (1899–1922)

On 22 October 1899, Hans Kamper put an promotion in Los Deportes affirming his desire to pattern a football club; a affirmative answer produced in a gathering at the Gimnasio Solé on 29 November. Eleven players attended—Walter Wild (the first controller of the club), Lluís d'Ossó, Bartomeu Terradas, Otto Kunzle, Otto Maier, Enric Ducal, Pere Cabot, Carles Pujol, Josep Llobet, John Parsons, and William Parsons—and Foot-Ball Club Barcelona was born.
FC Barcelona had a thriving start in local and nationwide cups, vying in the Campionat de Catalunya and the Copa del Rey. In 1902, the association won its first trophy, the Copa Macaya, and took part in the first Copa del Rey, mislaying 1–2 to Bizcaya in the final. Gamper became association leader in 1908, the association in economic adversity after not triumphant a affray since the Campionat de Catalunya in 1905. Club leader on five distinct events between 1908 and 1925, he expended 25 years in total at the helm. One of his major achievements was double-checking Barça come by its own stadium and therefore develop a steady income.
