This year the Parliament of Catalonia has awarded its highest distinction, the Medal of Honour, to the FC Barcelona women's team.
It is the first time a sports team has won the award, and it recognises the growth, professionalisation and equal opportunities in the women's game. It is also honoured for setting such a fine example for young girls, changing people's perceptions of women's sport and helping to build a fairer, more equal society.
The team is widely regarded for its talents and for upholding such important values as team-work, respect for opponents, effort, responsibility and companionship.
Winners since 2000
The Medal of Honour has been awarded since 2000, and has been won by a number of important political, artistic and other Catalan institutions, such as economist and politician Ernest Lluch (2001), the Fundació Institut Guttmann (2015); the Mossos d'Esquadra police force, emergency services Barcelona Guardia Urbana and the Cambrils police force (2017), Catalan healthcare workers (2020) and former Barça football manager Josep Guardiola (2010).
