Fútbol Club Barcelona (Catalan IPA: /fudˈbɔɫ ˌklup bəɾsəˈlonə/, Spanish IPA: /ˈfutβol ˌkluβ baɾθeˈlona/), known familiarly as Barça (Spanish IPA: /ˈbaɾsa/, Catalan IPA: /ˈbaɾsə/), is a sports club based in Barcelona, Spain. It is best known for its football team, which was founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English, and Spanish men led by Joan Gamper. The club has become a Catalan institution, hence the motto Més que un club (More than a club).
