Tributes to Casaus on the way

Futbol Club Barcelona is preparing a series of acts in honour of the recently deceased former vice president Nicolau Casaus. The first will be on August 29 on occasion of the Assembly and the Joan Gamper Trophy.

The Joan Gamper this year will be marked by events to honour the loss of one of the most important people in the club’s modern history. The agenda for the club Assembly on August 29 will, as announced by Alfons Godall, vice president of Futbol Club Barcelona and president of the Social Area “start with a special testimonial to Nicolau Casaus, which has yet to be decided, as part of the traditional minute’s silence in honour of members that have passed away”.

Then, before the game between Futbol Club Barcelona and Inter Milan “there will be a series of events in the form of an audiovisual presentation and the presence of the Barça supporters clubs that he loved so much and that loved him back”, said Godall. It is likely that some of the supporters clubs will parade in the stadium before the Gamper match is played.

Permanent tribute

As well as events on August 29, the club is also looking into ways of making a permanent tribute to the former vice president. Alfons Godall explained that “we are speaking with representatives of the supporters clubs about the subject. We’re putting ideas together and there is nothing definite yet. We would probably like to include his name in some kind of emblematic event, which could be, for example, the Nicolau Casaus World Meeting of Supporters Clubs”. These and other details will be looked into over the next few weeks, always in close collaboration with the representatives of the supporters clubs.”
