125 Years Strong: A Milestone Celebration

The heart of the 125th-anniversary celebrations was the iconic Gran Teatre del Liceu, where nearly 2,000 guests, including athletes, dignitaries, and celebrities, gathered for an unforgettable evening.


The gala featured moving tributes, the unveiling of Barça's new mascot CAT, and a stirring new anthem, "L'Escut al Pit". EBC was honoured to attend this historic event as an official partner across Asia Pacific, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, standing shoulder to shoulder with Barça in their commitment to excellence.

Football's La Masia, Finance's EBC: Shared Values, Shared Vision

Much like Barça's famed youth academy, La Masia, which nurtures young talents like Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde, EBC is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of financial experts. This partnership is built on shared values: resilience, excellence, and a passion for progress.


Earlier this year, EBC made its debut during Barça's first LaLiga home game of the 2024/2025 season, where we witnessed the magic of young stars stepping into the spotlight. Their drive and ambition echo our mission: empowering traders to grow from novices to experts, equipped with the tools and knowledge to succeed.

Tiki-Taka Meets Trading Excellence

Barça's iconic tiki-taka style—a seamless, strategic flow of passes—parallels EBC's trading philosophy. At EBC, every client interaction and service work in harmony, much like Barça's synchronised gameplay, ensuring precision and success at every step.


From dominating LaLiga to thriving in European competitions, Barça's focus on mastery mirrors our commitment to delivering a world-class trading experience. New manager Hansi Flick's strategic brilliance reinforces this synergy, as both Barça and EBC continue to build a future defined by innovation and excellence.


More Than a Club, More Than a Partner

Barça's motto, "Més que un club" (More than a club), resonates deeply with EBC's values. Like Barça, we see our role extending beyond our core expertise. Through CSR initiatives such as our partnership with the University of Oxford and support for the United Nations Foundation's United to Beat Malaria campaign, we aim to leave a lasting impact on communities worldwide.


Our collaboration with FC Barcelona amplifies this mission, blending sport, finance, and social responsibility to shape a better tomorrow.


A Future Written Together

As FC Barcelona celebrates 125 years of greatness, EBC is honoured to join this extraordinary journey. This partnership is more than a sponsorship—it's a shared pursuit of excellence, innovation, and global influence.


On behalf of David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd., and the entire EBC team, we congratulate Barça on this historic milestone. Together, we look forward to a future where history meets progress and legacies are built to inspire generations.


Here's to the next 125 years of unforgettable victories—on the field, in the markets, and across the world.
