Futbol Club Barcelona Femení C is a Spanish football team based in Barcelona, in the autonomous community of Catalonia.

Founded in 2022, it is the second reserve team of FC Barcelona Femení, and currently plays in Preferente, playing their home matches at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

Reserve teams in Spain play in the same league system as the main team, rather than in a separate league. They must play at least one level below their main side; Barcelona Femení C play in the fifth tier, part of the regional Catalan system, while the first and "B" teams play in the first and second tier in the national leagues.

History

[edit]

Current team

[edit]

The Barcelona women's Juvenil-Cadet youth team were successful in their 2021–22 season, but with the B team still containing homegrown talent and signing more players from other clubs for the 2022–23 season, few of the youth players would be able to advance within Barcelona's structure. The club wanted to bridge the gap between the youth and senior teams, and expand the development programme. For the 2022–23 season, a third Barcelona women's team was registered.[1][2][3] Four of the players registered had spent the 2021–22 season with one of Barcelona's girls' teams that came top of a boys' league,[4] while three players were incorporated from the Tarragona-based F.F. Base Reus youth team that had won the girls' first division.[5] As well as incorporating developing youth players, Viky Adrianova was also registered with the team, having played for the B team and being touted as the next Alexia Putellas in the years prior.[6] Magalí Capdevila played for the C and B teams, and was registered for the first team in the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League.[7][8]

Barcelona Femení C entered the Catalan league system, operated by the Catalan Football Federation (FCF), in the second division, where they competed in group 3 (subdivided by region). Though only in their first season and comprising young players, the team had an indomitable hold on the league,[9][2] attracting much attention when their large goal differences were shared on social media.[10][11] Despite this, none of the team finished the season as the league's top goalscorer.[12] They mathematically won the league in April 2023, and were given a winner's reception at a sold-out Estadi Johan Cruyff on 30 April ahead of the first team match that saw them win the Liga F.[13]

They were promoted to the FCF first division for their second season, competing in group 2 (subdivided by region).[14] Both Adrianova and Magalí Capdevila received student grants to play college soccer in the United States in 2023, leaving ahead of the new season.[15][16] In the absence of first team players who were at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, much of the main C squad trained with the first and B teams during the 2023–24 preseason.[17]

In May 2024 the team won their league, again with a perfect record, to achieve back-to-back promotions.[18]

Predecessors

[edit]

Prior to the 2006 restructure there was a Barcelona women's C team in senior competition, and it survived this overhaul.[19] In the 2007–08 season, the team was part of the second division of regional football.[20][21]
