&#8216;More than a club&#8217;, or &#8216;Mes que un club&#8217; in Catalan, is the motto of FC Barcelona, one of the strongest and most successful teams in the history of football, since 1968. The team was founded in 1899 following an advertisement published in Los Deportes by Swiss businessman and columnist Joan Gamper. He also introduced the sport to Barcelona, being a great fan and a footballer himself.
From its debut match, the club showed grit, skill and power, winning important trophies such as the Macaya Cup in 1902 and the Pyrenees Cup in 1910 and 1912. It won its first Champions League at the end of the 1920s and five Cups during the 1951/1952 season.
In 2006, FC Barcelona, known simply as Barca, founded the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper or Joan Gamper Sports City, a sports complex located in the Spanish city and housing the team&#8217;s club.
This is where FC Barcelona&#8217;s training sessions and matches are held, along with the games of the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s youth football teams and, sometimes, the club&#8217;s reserve team. The facility also hosts the matches of other sporting activities, such as basketball and handball.
The Joan Gamper Sports City presents itself as a multifunctional complex, consisting mainly of nine football pitches, a natural grass training ground for goalkeepers, a sauna area and a facility dedicated to athletes who need to recover from an injury. The goal is also to connect the city to neighbouring towns and to the city of Barcelona itself via a new railway station, allowing athletes to move more easily.
As part of a recent renovation, Disano, a world leader in LED lighting for sports facilities of all sizes and types, designed and developed an ultra-modern lighting system. The project involved the use of Forum floodlights, the flagship of Disano&#8216;s sports luminaires and a perfect alternative to traditional light sources.
Ideal for every size and type of arena, high-tech Forum LED luminaires are chosen whenever the need is to ensure maximum lighting efficiency and visual comfort for athletes and fans. These are the fundamental demands dictated by global sports federations, such as FIFA or CONI.
The luminaire&#8217;s light flux is stable (low flicker), glare-free and with a truly remarkable colour rendering index. These are all lighting characteristics that demonstrate Disano&#8216;s great attention to the visual well-being of users and the protection of the environment.
Moreover, Forum floodlights were also chosen to make lighting not only efficient and environmentally friendly, but also economical, thus enabling a significant cut in energy and maintenance costs.
This is why Forum can be defined as the ideal floodlight for any type of outdoor application, from sports facilities to large areas and infrastructure.
The floodlights installed on the pitches in Barcelona are equipped with DMX drivers and a central lighting management console to control the entire lighting installation.
In the Joan Gamper Sports City, every pitch has received the best lighting, i.e. efficient, stable and environmentally friendly, so that the viewing of athletes and spectators is fully respected without neglecting the surroundings. Disano has once again demonstrated excellence in sports lighting with this project.
