The Timbuktu Supporters� Club had a great time watching the Champions League Final in Rome. The Mali SC members have sent a video of their celebrations to Bar�a TV

The Supporters’ Club has sent us the pictures of their celebrations of Bar�a’s third Champions League all the way from Mali.

Proud of Bar�a

In the letter accompanying the video the president of the Supporters’ Club Azima Ag Mohammed Ali told us: “We are very happy to be able to send you this video to show you how much we like the best team in the world”.

The video shows the fans crowded around a TV, most of them wearing Bar�a shirts emblazoned with the UNICEF logo. There are even some flags with “Champions” written in Catalan.

The video shows the tremendous enthusiasm for Bar�a in Mali, the birthplace of Keita,

Since 2006

The Supporters’ Club does not have its own clubhouse so meet in a local hotel, where they watched the Rome final. The club was founded in 2006 and inaugurated its own plaque at the Camp Nou two years ago. Most of the membership belongs to the tuareg ethnic group.

Annual visit

The president of the Supporters’ Club, Azima Ag, is in permanent touch with Bar�a’s SC department to explain their activities. In addition, Azima visits Barcelona and the installations of the Club every April or May. It’s the hottest time of the year in Mali so he takes the opportunity to visit the club that is so dear to his heart.
