“We are very happy to welcome Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Credit Card Centre to the FC Barcelona family. We have a strong and solid synergy with SPDBCCC. Not only because its brand image fits perfectly with the club, but also because there are similarities between their customers and a lot of our Chinese fans. They are passionate people with dreams.
