From the museum to the Box: FC Barcelona Women

Next Sunday 5, it will be the third visit of FC Barcelona to San Mames, but their first game at the new stadium.

FC Barcelona will once again play in San Mames, but this time it will be at the new stadium. The first match between the clubs in La Catedral was in the 2009-2010 season, at Copa de la Reina championship. It was in the quarterfinals, which ended with a Catalan victory by 0 to 2.

The first league match they played in San Mames brought together nearly 30,000 people at La Catedral. This was on May 5, 2013. The occasion deserved it, not in vain was the last day of the 2012-13 League between the two candidate clubs for the title: Athletic Club and FC Barcelona.  The red-and-white got a draw to win a league they had not won since the 2006-07 season. FC Barcelona players needed a victory to defend the title they had won the previous season.

The match ended with a 2-1 victory, and what could have become last rudder of the old Cathedral, became one of the saddest matches and moments in its history. In spite of this, both teams received a standing ovation from the public. On Sunday, in the box at San Mames, the shirt signed by the team that won the title that day and the armband of their captain Meli were presented.
