Who are the Barça Legends?

The Barça Legends are the outcome of an FC Barcelona programme to make good use of the stars that have worn the club jersey in the past. The project looks to help globalise the Barça name and the club’s values through its former players, and also enable them to further their playing careers after retirement from professional duties. The programme involves different fixtures and the organisation of parallel events in different parts of the world.
