The 1902 Medal of the Spanish Gymnastics Federation also referred to simply as Medalla de la Federació and Medalla del Ayuntamiento was a football competition that was held in Barcelona between February and June 1902. The first edition used the league system and the second edition of the qualifiers.[1][2][3]

First edition

On 29 September 1901, Spanish Gymnastics Federation organized a sports program in Parc de la Citadel, where it was contested a silver medal given by the City Council of Barcelona, but the delivery of the medal was ultimately not carried out, being instead held for the upcoming football tournament, whose preparations were carried out by Joan Gamper.

The competition, which was open to every team that did not participate in the 1901–02 Copa Macaya, including some second teams, was contested by 9 teams: Irish FC, Iberia SC, FC Internacional, Catalonia FC, and the second sides of FC Barcelona, Hispania AC, Català FC, Club Espanyol, and Club Universitari, but only 7 teams finished the competition due to the early withdrawal of Hispania and Universitari.[2] On 27 April, Barça secured the title following a 3–1 victory over Català, courtesy of goals from Luis de Ossó (2) and Bernardo Lassaletta,[4] who finished the tournament as its top goalscorers. Ossó was also the main promoter and captain of Barça's second team, which was formed mostly by Catalan players,[5] such as Ricardo Cabot, Manuel de Castellví, Josep Llobet, and Pere Cabot.

Second Edition

The success of the first edition and the Copa Macaya led to the consolidation of football in the city, so a second Medalla del Ayuntamiento was held at the end of the season, which was contested by six teams: FC Barcelona, Club Universitari, Club Espanyol, FC Internacional, Catalonia FC, and Catalunya FC,[3] but the first two declined, while Català signed up at the last minute. All the matches were held in the Plaça d'Armes in June, in front of 3,000 spectators.[1]
