Penya Blau i Grana de Berga celebrates 50th anniversary with Joan Laporta

On Friday 9 June, the Penya Blau i Grana de Berga celebrated its 50 years of existence. FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta wanted to be there with the supporters club from Berguedà, one which is remarkably active and very much part of its local cummunity.

He was joined by director Josep-Ignasi Macià and the former player and current president of the FC Barcelona Players Group, Juan Manuel Asensi, as well as Ignasi Montagut from the FC Barcelona Social Commission.

The visited started in the clubhouse, where they were greeted by the penya president, Anna Carreras, and signed the book of honour.

They later went for dinner at a restaurant with about 150 guests, which included the local mayor Iván Sánchez, and the treasurer of the penyas group for Bages, El Berguedà and La Cerdanya, Joan Cots.

The speeches ended with some words from Mr Laporta himself, who thanked the penya for its many years of support of the club and also spoke of how FC Barcelona intends to continue supporting the work done by its supporters movement.
