FC Barcelona Foundation and the IOC agree to deploy 'FutbolNet' in Africa

This is the first ever agreement between the IOC and a sports club's foundation 

The agreement will lead to the creation of the 'Olympafrica FutbolNet Cup', a series of tournaments for youngsters which will be held in over 23 African countries
FC Barcelona President Sandro Rosell met with Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), this Wednesday afternoon in Lausanne, Switzerland, to sign an agreement between the IOC and the FC Barcelona Foundation.

The project will the lay the groundwork for the ‘Olympafrica FutbolNet Cup,’ a group of tournaments in African for children between the ages of 12 and 15. The Olympafrica FutbolNet Cup will be based on FC Barcelona Foundation’s FutbolNet project, which aims to instill and encourage positive values through football. 

These tournaments will be hosted at Oympafrica International Foundation’s 26 centers, which span 23 countries, and will kick off in 2013. The organisation, which was founded by the IOC, works to spread the olympic spirit throughout the continent and encourage social development through sport. 

Rosell: “We are grateful to the IOC for the confidence that they’ve shown in the Foundation”

President Sandro Rosell thanked the International Olympic Committee and its president, Jacques Rogge, for “the confidence shown in the FC Barcelona Foundation to carry out this project. It’s a great honour for our Club to be able to contribute and encourage the values of sport.”

Rogge stated that the alliance with the FC Barcelona Foundation will “give many children of many African countries, and their communities, the chance to practice sport in order to strengthen and improve human development. I would like to thank the FC Barcelona Foundation for their support and for their willingness to share their valuable experience in this regard.”

The project will reach 78,000 children 

Each ‘Olympafrica FutbolNet Cup’ tournament will host approximately 3,000 children, which means that the overall project will reach approximately 78,000 children.

During the month of May there will be two workshops, one in Barcelona and another in Burundi, where ‘Olympafrica FutbolNet Cup’ organisers will learn the methodology employed by FutbolNet. Additional workshops are scheduled to take place in June.

FutbolNet’s methodology

The methodology of FC Barcelona Foundation’s FutbolNet aims to educate children through positive values derived from playing football. 

The football employed in FutbolNet has some very special rules, as the goal is not to win but to learn the following concepts: commitment, respect, tolerance, team work, responsibility and effort. For example, there is no referee, but a ‘teamer’, a moderator whose purpose is to guide the game. Also, the winning team isn’t the one with the most goals; rather, the winners are the ones who best applied the values of the sport to the game. 

FutbolNet sessions are divided up into three distinct sections: a discussion before the match where participants decide on the rules and which concept should be worked; a football match, and then a post-match discussion where the behaviour of the participants is evaluated. It’s important to note that the dialogue becomes part of the game and not a supplement to it. 

The Foundation has applied this project to over 20 locations in Catalonia and in Brazil, Oman, Qatar and Iraq

Doping control

Ten players passed a UEFA doping spot check: Mascherano, Bartra, Dos Santos, Pinto, Alexis, Adriano, Sergio, Puyol, Pedro and Alves. The last time a similar test was conducted was on February 15.

Adriano Correia and Pedro Rodríguezare making good progress and on Friday morning were both seen to be working with the squad in the training session at the Ciutat Esportiva. The fullback pulled his hamstring on March 17, while a small torn fibre was spotted in the striker’s left calf on the 17th of last month.

Meanwhile, Javier Mascherano, Leo Messi and Carles Puyol did recovery and physiotherapy work. The remainder of the team, including Adriano and Pedro (who has just become a father), prepared for the game with Mallorca on Saturday. They were also joined by Oier and Deulofeu from the B team.

The players rested on Thursday and as usual when there are home games at the Camp Nou, will also have a training session on the morning of the match.

Mallorca in deep trouble

Gregorio Manzano’s Mallorca are coming to the Camp Nou second from bottom of the table, having just lost at home to last placed Deportivo

Mallorca come to Barça on Saturday, with the game kicking off at 22.00, in desperate need of points. They are second from bottom and three points adrift of the safety zone. The 58 goals they have let in this season, an average of two a game, is the second poorest record in the league.

Their top scorers this term are Hemed (8) and Víctor Casadesús (7), two players that do make the Balearic Islanders strong in the air going forward.

Comeback slowing

After losing at the Bernabéu (4-2) and more painfully at home to bottom placed Deportivo (2-3), Mallorca’s impressive form under Gregorio Manzano, with wins against Sevilla (2-1) and Granada (1-2), seems to have come to an end. The new manager was a replacement for Joaquín Caparrós, and so far has won two, drawn one and lost four games in charges of the islanders.

Ringing the changes

The poor results early in the season led to some major changes during the winter transfer window. Luna (Sevilla), Hutton (Aston Villa) and Tissone (Sampdoria) all moved to Palma. Mallorca also have three footballers in their squad that once played youth football at Barça, namely goalkeeper Rubén Miño (Aouate’s understudy), Giovani dos Santos and Andreu Fontàs (on loan until June 30).

Roura: “We have players missing but I do not doubt the ability of my squad”

Roura has guaranteed that the team is fully focused on Saturday’s game with Mallorca and that despite the missing players, they will do all they can to get a good result. 

“We will wait for Saturday’s training session to decide what eleven we’ll play. We’ll think hard about the options” said the FC Barcelona manager

Should he go into Saturday’s game with Mallorca with a first choice eleven? Or should he play some of the less regular players? These were the questions asked to Roura at his midday press conference on Friday. “We have to try to keep the balance. Our heads are fully focused on Saturday’s game. We have always said that the league is a very important target for us”, said Jordi Roura. Despite the missing players through injury, the FC Barcelona manager is convinced that “this team has always been able to respond to difficult situations like this. We have missing players but I don’t doubt the members of my squad. If they’re in the squad it’s because they’re good enough to be there. On Saturday we’ll play with intensity and do everything we can to take the match”.

Roura added that Mallorca “is a difficult opponent. These games with teams in danger of relegation are always difficult.” He remembered the game with Celta, before adding that “all points are essential and we’ll be going for this 100%. I have a lot of respect for games like these.”

Discussing options

Tito Vilanova and Jordi Roura will wait until Saturday after training before they decide what team they’ll field against Mallorca. It is in defence that they have the most injuries to worry about, but Roura has said that Adriano is responding well to treatment and should be fit within schedule. Song and Sergio are useful for getting the ball out from the back, and Puyol “is working morning, afternoon and evening to get fit but we have to take the medical programmes into account”.

He was also asked if there is any chance that we’ll see Abidal back in action? “He is one of the squad, and so he also has options” said Roura. “His is a very special case. He has developed well. He’ll play if we think he can help.”

Messi and PSG

Messi’s name naturally came up several times. The Argentinian won’t be playing on Saturday, but “we’ll have to see how he develops between now and Wednesday. He is a competitive player and always wants to be in the team. At the end of the day, it depends how he feels and what the doctors say. But neither should we force things.”

UEFA institutional letter

The Barça assistant coach finished with a comment on the letter written to FIFA about incidents in the game with PSG on Tuesday, saying that “Freixa explained the club’s position in this respect. We fully agree with this letter to UEFA because we feel that a written law was not complied with … We are fully respectful to referees, but there are certain things that have to be said. These are very specific things regarding very specific matches” he concluded.
