R@dio Barça

Starting this Wednesday, users of www.fcbarcelona.cat will be able to enjoy live match commentaries with R@dio Barça. All first team matches are included in the new service and commentaries will be in Catalan, Spanish and English.

Live match commentaries via the Club’s website will be in addition to the current wide range of online information and services. This will be the first of many planned services from R@dio Barça and in the coming months many new programmes will be offered.

Starting with Wednesday’s Joan Gamper match against Inter Milan, match commentaries will be available on www.fcbarcelona.cat for all first team games including friendlies. In order to gain as wide an audience as possible, broadcasts will be made in three languages: Catalan, Spanish and English.

Catalan and Spanish commentaries will be those offered by Barça TV via Digital Plus and Imagenio, with expert commentaries by former Barça star Oscar Garcia in Catalan and former coach Toño de la Cruz in Spanish.

International presence

The English commentaries will be the first of their kind as this service is not currently being offered either on the radio or via Internet. This new service will satisfy a large and growing demand from Barça fans around the world.

R@dio Barça
How do I listen?
To hear the broadcasts, simply click on the “Next Match” button found on the home page of the Barça website, or on the “Football” and “The Club” sections. Once you access the commentary, either Windows Media will automatically open, connect with the server and start to play. The broadcast will begin five minutes before kick-off and can be listened to while you surf the rest of the Club’s website.

This new service is part of the Club’s policy of using the latest technology to satisfy the needs of all Barça fans and comes hot on the heels of the new-look website and the introduction of Barça TV Online. Throughout the pre-season, Barça TV broadcast all the first team’s matches, also in the three languages.
