Fútbol Club Barcelona Atlètic (formerly FC Barcelona B) is a Spain football team. They are the reserve team of FC Barcelona. Reserve teams in the Spanish football league system play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league. However reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore CD Condal is ineligible for promotion to the La Liga. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the Copa del Rey. In the past the reserve teams of both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid Castilla have blurred the lines between being a reserve team and a separate entity.
The team has a history distinct from the senior team and only became known as
FC Barcelona B in the 1990s. Previously CD Condal has been known as
CD Espanya Industrial,
CD Condal and
Barcelona Atlètic. From 1993 to 2007 there was also an FC Barcelona C, founded in 1967 as
Barcelona Amateur. Although FC Barcelona is traditionally regarded as being a very cosmopolitan club, it also has a history of producing players from the
cantera. Numerous senior players have graduated through the ranks of these junior teams.
FC Barcelona B play their home games at the Mini Estadi, next door to the Camp Nou. The Mini Estadi is one of the most impressive reserve team stadiums in the world. It was opened in 1982 and has also hosted the Barcelona Dragons and Andorra national football team internationals.
Starting in 2008
FC Barcelona B became known as
FC Barcelona Atlètic. Luis Enrique Martínez García took over when Josep Guardiola was promoted to senior first team coach.
History
SD España Industrial
Founded on 1 August 1934 as
Societat Esportiva Industrial Espanya, CD Condal was originally the sports club of the factory with the same name. CD Condal shirt featured blue and white vertical stripes. The company was owned by the family of
Josep Antoni de Albert who was briefly president of FC Barcelona in 1943. During Alberts’ presidency the club, now known as
Club Deportivo Espanya Industrial, became the FC Barcelona reserve team and began to play their home games at Camp de Les Corts.
Initially CD Condal played in the local regional leagues but in 1950 they were promoted to the Tercera División and by 1952 they had been promoted to the Segunda División. In 1953 they finished as runners-up in both the
Segunda División, Group I and the subsequent promotion play-off but because they were a nursery club of FC Barcelona, they were unable to move up a division.
CD Condal
After winning another promotion play-off in 1956,
CD Espanya Industrial became independent of FC Barcelona and were renamed
Club Deportivo Condal. CD Condal wore blue shirts with two white diagonals stripes. CD Condal were now able to be promoted to the La Liga. However they survived only one season and were relegated in 1957. In 1968 CD Condal rejoined the FC Barcelona family as the reserve team and adopted the
blaugrana.
Barcelona Atlètic
In 1970 FC Barcelona president
Agustí Montal decided to merge
CD Condal with another junior club,
Atlètic Catalunya, and formed
Barcelona Atlètic.
Atlètic Catalunya had only been formed in 1965 as a result of the merger of two other clubs
UE Catalunya de Les Corts, founded in 1918 as
Catalunya Sporting Club, and
CD Fabra Coats, founded in 1926.
La Masia
In 1979 FC Barcelona established
La Masia as the headquarters of its youth academy. Since its inception it has nurtured numerous talented players for the senior team. Among them are Francisco José Carrasco, Ramón Calderé, Guillermo Amor, Albert Ferrer, Josep Guardiola, Sergi Barjuán, Víctor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Bojan Krkić, all of whom played for
FC Barcelona B. However not all the graduates of
La Masia established themselves at FC Barcelona and some have moved to other clubs to advance their careers. These have include Iván de la Peña, David Sánchez Rodríguez, Luis Javier García Sanz, José Manuel Reina, Mikel Arteta, Fran Mérida, Cesc Fàbregas, Albert Luque and Giovani Dos Santos.
