The Joan Gamper Trophy (Catalan: Trofeu Joan Gamper) is an annual friendly football competition hosted by FC Barcelona and is named in honour of Joan Gamper, a founding member, player, and later president of the club. The competition was inaugurated in 1966 by Enric Llaudet, one of Gamper's. The trophy itself is an 800 grams silver cup with five micrometres of gold finishing, on-top of a 10 kilograms marble plinth base!
Barcelona won it 33 times in history! Milan participated twice but never won.
If you want to read more about Gamper, I found great article here (click), and there is also story at official website (click here)
Tomorrow will be also team presentation! So I think it will be great fiesta at Camp Nou. You can watch whole event on TV3(Catalan tv-click for more information), game will start at 7.45 PM, but TV podcast will start at 6.40 PM.
Just for fun I want to share with you:
