An extraordinary auction organised by FC Barcelona will begin on 23 January. Fans of the Catalan Pride will have the chance to get their hands on unique items, including legendary football lockers, corner flags or penalty points from the famous pitch.

An auction for collectors and enthusiasts

In line with the Memorabilia project, launched by the club last year, FC Barcelona is continuing to sell historical items. This time, the items to be auctioned include the lockers, which were used by the players in the changing rooms over the years. Elements of the turf, including the points from which penalty kicks were taken at Spotify Camp Nou will also be on offer.

Corner flags and shields in front of the substitutes' benches that have witnessed Blaugrana triumphs will also be among the items on display. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase historic photographs of the teams that reached for Champions League victories in 1991/92, 2005/06, 2008/09, 2010/11 and 2014/15. These photographs adorned the tunnel leading to the pitch, reminding the players of the greatness of the club they represent.

Collaboration with Goldin

Barça's partner in this endeavour is Goldin, the world leader in the auction of collectables. The company has made a name for itself by selling the most valuable sports memorabilia, including Lionel Messi's legendary jerseys, such as the one from the memorable goal in El Clásico in April 2017.

Founded in 2012 by Ken Goldin, the company has partnered with major sports organisations such as the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.
