The captains from the professional teams as well as those from the youth set ups come together to build a model of captaincy at the Club.

On the one hand, vice-president for sport Rafa Yuste welcomed the captains of the youth teams to the Auditori, 113 boys and girls in small work groups who shared their motivations and personal experiences and then debated what being an FC Barcelona captain means. He encouraged them to continue leading their respective teams and their important role as representatives of FC Barcelona values, both on and off the field. The initiative, set up by the FC Barcelona Centre for Sporting Excellence as part of the Culture and Values Programme, has as its objective the creation of a shared internal guide on captaincy at the Club.
