Futbol Club Barcelona Handbol is a professional Catalan Spanish handball team based in Barcelona, Catalonia. It is a part of the FC Barcelona multi sports club, and was founded on 29 November 1942. The club competes domestically in the Liga ASOBAL and in the European Champions League. It is the most successful handball club in Spain and Europe with a record number of domestic and international titles.

History

Early years

The handball section of Futbol Club Barcelona was founded on 29 November 1942 during the presidency of Enrique Piñeyro.[1] In the beginning handball was played with eleven players per team and did not have a specialized field to play. They used football fields until the late 1950s, when they started to play, as in actual games, with seven players and a covered field.[1]

In the early stages, competitions were dominated by other teams like Atlético de Madrid and Granollers, breaking their domination few times.

They won their first league title and cup in 1969.[1] Their homefield Palau Blaugrana was constructed in 1971, where they have played since.[1]

Valero Rivera era (1983–2003)

Valero Rivera López

Things changed radically with the arrival of one of the best coaches in handball history, Valero Rivera.[1][2] With him, the team became virtually unbeatable in Spain and in Europe, winning a record of 70 trophies under his rule, including 5 consecutive, 6 in total, European Cups.[3][2]

Post Valero Rivera era (2003–February 2009)

This period, dominated by rival Ciudad Real, was difficult for Barça, but the Catalans still managed to win the Liga once, and also a Champions League title in 2005 after 2 very close final matches against Ciudad Real. [4]

Xavi Pascual era (February 2009 - June 2021)

In 2013, the Barça handball team won the IHF Super Globe trophy, the only trophy that was still missing from the club's trophy cabinet.[5]

FC Barcelona’s handball team closed out the 2013/14 Liga ASOBAL with a record-breaking winning run. Barça made history this season when they completed their Liga ASOBAL without dropping any points from all 30 match days.[6]

FC Barcelona successfully defended its IHF Super Globe title in 2014, marking the first time a team has won back-to-back titles since the most prestigious club handball event has been hosted annually in the Qatari capital Doha.[7][8]

Again, FC Barcelona handball team ended the 2014/2015 Liga ASOBAL season unbeaten for the second consecutive year.[9]

FC Barcelona handball team won the seven titles disputed the 2014/2015 season, something which had not happened since the 1999/2000 season with Valero Rivera's Dream Team.[10]

In 2017 FC Barcelona handball was again champion of the IHF Super Globe after beating the German team Füchse Berlin.[11]

In 2018, the club won the Super Globe trophy again, for the fourth time. In a repeat of last year the team of head coach Xavi Pascual won the IHF Super Globe Final against Füchse Berlin, this time by a five-goal difference, 29–24.[12]

Again Barça won the IHF Super Globe in 2019, their third in a row. The team led by Xavi Pascual beat THW Kiel 34–32.[13]

In 2021 Barça regain the European throne six years after the last title, winning the final against Aalborg Håndbold (36–23), at the end of an absolutely impeccable season: 6/6 titles and 61/61 victories.[14] Xavi Pascual's team secured the section's 10th Champions League and also became the first team to lift the golden net, the new trophy for the European champions from this season, as a replacement for the bronze arm. The title concludes a season with an emotional ending, since it marks the conclusion of a cycle and the goodbye of several players, in addition to David Barrufet, Xavi Pascual and Fernando Barbeito.[15] Former Dream Team player, Carlos Ortega was chosen to be FC Barcelona's new handball coach for the next three seasons.[16]

Antonio Carlos Ortega era (July 2021 - present)

In the 2021–22 season, after the successes achieved the previous season, the azulgrana certified a new sextet, where the only title that escaped was the Super Globe in October. The team won the Spanish Super Cup, the Catalan Super Cup, the Copa del Rey, the Sacyr ASOBAL League, the Sacyr ASOBAL Cup, and finally the Champions League. The team ended the season winning the 11th Champions League in Barça history. Barça revalidated the title in Cologne, being the first team to win two consecutive years with the new final four format, and extended its dominance in the historic record of the Handball Champions League.[17]

The following seasons, from 2022/23 to 2025/26, the Blaugranas continued their domination in the local competitions by winning everything; recovering in October 2025, 6 years after their last coronation, the Super Globe trophy (31-30 ET vs Veszprém KC); and winning the EHF Champions League again in 2024 (31-30 vs Aalborg Håndbold) and in 2026 (37-34 vs Füchse Berlin).

Barça had an exceptional 2025-26 season, winning all 7 competitions played (Catalan Supercup, Iberian Supercup, Super Globe, Copa ASOBAL, Liga ASOBAL, Copa del Rey, EHF Champions League) with a dizzying record of 61 matches, 60 W, 1 L. [18]
