The club had prepared a special reception, but since one executive (Enric Masip) who was supposed to meet us did not arrive on time due to a car crash that caused a big traffic jam.
The WYGC committee feels really thankful and honoured by their warm reception, arranged by the FC Barcelona Foundation. It would be nice if in next visits of FC Barcelona to Eastern Asian countries meetings between go and football players could be arranged, leading to media exposure.
