Joan Gaspart

Joan Gaspart's career stands out for its dual impact on Spanish tourism and football administration. His founding of Turisme de Barcelona in 1993 transformed the city's approach to international visitors, a contribution that lasted for three decades. Although his presidency at FC Barcelona was controversial, his longevity in the club's governance, spanning nearly 50 years from vice-president to president, marks him as a central figure in the institution's modern history.
