Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça is a Spanish professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" ("More than a club"). The club is one of three founding members of the Primera División that have never been relegated from the top division since its inception in 1929, along with Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. One of the most successful clubs in football, Barcelona has won 25 La Liga, 30 Copa del Rey, 13 Supercopa de España, 3 Copa Eva Duarte, and 2 Copa de la Liga trophies, as well as being the record holder for the latter four competitions at the domestic level. In international club football, Barcelona has won 20 European and World titles: 5 UEFA Champions League titles, a record 4 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, a joint record 5 UEFA Super Cup, a record 3 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and a joint record 3 FIFA Club World Cup.
The club is also famous for hosting some of the most illustrious names in the history of the sport...ranging from Kocsis and Kubala and Czibor to Maradona and Laudrup and Henry — and overall, its players have won a record number of Ballon d'Or awards (11), with recipients including Johan Cruyff and Suárez Miramontes, as well as a record number of FIFA World Player of the Year awards (7), with winners including Ronaldo, Romário, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo. In 2010, three players who came through the club's youth academy (Lionel Messi, Andrés Iniesta, and Xavi) were chosen as the three best players in the world in the FIFA Ballon d'Or awards, an unprecedented feat for players from the same football school. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Real Madrid; matches between the two teams are referred to as El Clásico (arguably the most significant derby in club football). And they play their home games at the Camp Nou (the the largest stadium in Spain and Europe, and the home stadium of FC Barcelona since its completion in 1957).
