History

Early years

Founded on 24 August 1926, the club entered its first competition in 1927, playing in the ''Campionat de Catalunya de Basquetbol'' (Catalan Basketball Championship). During these early years, basketball in Catalonia was dominated by clubs such as '' CE Europa'', '' Laietà BC'' and ''Société Patrie'' (later ''CB Atlètic Gràcia'') and it was not until the 1940s that FC Barcelona became established as a basketball team. During this decade they won six '' Copas del Generalísimo de Baloncesto'' and were runners-up once. In 1956 they were founding members of the Liga Española de Baloncesto and finished as runners-up. In 1959 they won Spanish basketball's first-ever league and cup double.

Decline in the 1960s

The 1960s and 1970s saw the team in decline. In 1961 the club president Enric Llaudet dissolved the team in spite of its popularity. However, in 1962, the club was reformed after a campaign by the fans. In 1964 the league's '' Primera División'' was cut from fourteen teams to eight and the club found themselves in the ''Segunda División'' after not finishing between the two first qualified teams in the relegation playoffs. However they quickly returned to the top division after being crowned ''Segunda'' champions in 1965. During the 1970s the club was persistently overshadowed by its rivals

and Joventut.

Revival in the 1980s

In the 1980s club president Josep Lluís Núñez gave the team his full support with the aim of making the club the best in Spain and Europe. His support produced results and during the decade inspired by their coach Aíto García Reneses and players like Juan Antonio San Epifanio (better known as Epi), Andrés Jiménez, Sibilio, Audie Norris and Solozábal, the club won six Spanish championships, five Spanish cups, two European Cup Winners' Cups, the Korać Cup and the World Championship. However the

remained elusive, ending as runners-up in 1984.

Champions of Europe

The club built on this success during the 1990s, winning a further four Spanish championships and two Spanish cups. They were still unable to win the

despite playing in a further four finals in 1990, 1991, 1996 and 1997. They also made a record six EuroLeague Final Four appearances. The star player during this era was Juan Antonio San Epifanio. Their persistence eventually paid off and in 2003, inspired by Dejan Bodiroga, Gregor Fučka,

and Juan Carlos Navarro, they won the EuroLeague, beating Benetton Treviso 76–65 in front of a packed Palau Sant Jordi in

Two FCB Bàsquet players in that game – captain Navarro and point guard Ricky Rubio – either had or went on to play in the NBA.
