Once again, this summer, the Joan Gamper Trophy marked the return of Barça fans to their stadium after the end of last season, and the Barça penyes movement responded with great enthusiasm. The 61st edition of the historic preseason trophy featured a strong presence of supporters in the stands at Camp Nou, who did not miss the first opportunity to see their team back at the stadium and celebrate the first victory of the season. In addition, fans were able to enjoy the squad presentation and the new signings live.
Attendance at the 61st Joan Gamper Trophy stood out for the varied origins of the penyes, which travelled from many different territories to enjoy this Barça celebration. Organisations such as PB Moriles (Fed. Andalucía, Ceuta y Melilla), PB Zumarraga (Fed. Euskadi), PB London and PB Polska (FCB World), PB Els Tamarells (Fed. Illes Balears), PB Almogàvers and PB Nostra Ensenya (Fed. Barcelonès Oest), PB Front 532 (Fed. Barcelonès Est), PB Vinaròs (Fed. Terres de l’Ebre) and PB Massanassa (Fed. València i Marina Alta), among others, were present. All of them are already looking forward to the start of the league calendar for the Barça team, which begins with the trip to Elche this Sunday at 9:30 p.m (EST).
Pre-match gathering at the Confederation headquarters
As in recent seasons, the Confederació Mundial de Penyes opened its headquarters two hours before the start of the Gamper match to welcome all penyes that wanted to share the pre-match build-up in a Barça atmosphere. As always, the presence of penyes from the Federació de les Terres de l’Ebre stood out, as did supporters who had travelled from farther away, such as PB Moriles (Fed. Andalucía, Ceuta y Melilla), PB Tierras del Cid (Fed. Castilla y León) and PB Zumarraga (Fed. Euskadi).
In this way, the Confederació resumes opening its premises on every matchday at Camp Nou this season. The organisation will welcome not only any member of the Barça penyes movement but also rival penyes that wish to share a few moments of harmony and good atmosphere before matches.
