All hail the blue and red, as thousands (or rather hundreds of thousands) of Spanish do at F.C. Barcelona's home games. Known as El Barca, F.C. Barcelona plays football (soccer) at Europe's largest stadium, the 98,000-seat capacity Camp Nou. The club has won 18 Spanish Liga titles, four Cup Winner's Cups, and two European crowns. Current stars include Brazilian World Cup hero Ronaldinho and Portuguese sensation Deco. F.C. Barcelona was founded in 1899 by Hans Gamper. As a club, not a company, Barca's funding comes from ticket sales, sponsors, and the Barcelona Foundation, a coterie of 122 private companies.
