FC Barcelona begins basketball centenary while ANC plans Camp Nou protest
FC Barcelona has launched celebrations for the centenary of its basketball section. The commemorative season includes a series of events such as a gala, a dedicated podcast, the presentation of a history book covering the years 1965-1983, and various social initiatives. Key activities will coincide with EuroLeague matches and local festivities.
Separately, the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) has announced plans to distribute 10,000 'estelades' (Catalan independence flags) outside Camp Nou. This action is a protest against a scheduled tribute to players who won the World Cup with the Spanish national team, which the ANC has characterized as a tribute to 'oppressors.' The mobilization follows recent incidents in Elx involving the seizure of flags by Spanish police.
