Walter Wild, Luis de Ossó, Bartomeu Terradas, Otto Künzli, Otto Maier, Enric Ducay, Pere Cabot, Carles Puyol, Josep Llobet, John Parsons, William Parsons, and Joan Gamper signed the record. On 8 December, Barcelona played their first match, at the former Velódromo de la Bonanova, against some Englishmen who had settled in the city. Both teams played with 10-men squads. The English Colony won 0–1 thanks to a goal from Arthur Witty.http://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1899/12/09/pagina-7/33401233/pdf.html FC Barcelona 0–1 Team Anglès es La Vanguardia 9 December 1899 26 July 2022 The first board of directors was established on 14 December.

In addition to Harris, Willie Gold, the Scottish player who had received the foul, returned with a punch and was also sent off. The incident caused a fight between players of both teams and as a result, Joan Gamper, Barça's captain in this match, resigned from the position.http://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1900/02/04/pagina-7/33401026/pdf.html Barcelona 4–0 Català FC es La Vanguardia 25 May 1900 10 November 2022 On 14 February, Barcelona's third assembly completed the board of directors with Ernest Witty (sub-captain) (replacing William Parsons) and Joan Millet (sub-secretary). In this meeting, Gamper is urged to withdraw his resignation, not considering the incidents of the previous match sufficient. Barcelona refused to play any team with Scottish players in their ranks for a year if an apology was not received, but both Català and Escocès refused to do so, stating that those Scots are members of Català, and therefore, the rest of the 1899–1900 Catalan season was just confrontations between Escocès and Català.https://memoriesfutbolcatala.com/2021/04/28/a-voltes-amb-lescoces-fc/ A voltes amb l'Escocès (FC) Around with Escocès FC es memoriesfutbolcatala.com 28 April 2021 10 November 2022 30 April 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220430061909/https://memoriesfutbolcatala.com/2021/04/28/a-voltes-amb-lescoces-fc/ live Following a 3-month hiatus without playing (Feb - May), Barcelona finally played again on 24 May against Team Rojo, a team formed by a group of dissident players of Català, their established city rivals.http://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1900/05/25/pagina-3/33404140/pdf.html Team Roig 1–2 Barcelona Team Rojo 1–2 Barcelona es La Vanguardia 25 May 1900 17 September 2022 7 October 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141007175219/http://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1900/05/25/pagina-3/33404140/pdf.html live Squad Source:https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2022/02/resumen-estadistico-de-todas-las-temporadas-del-fc-barcelona-i-temporada-1899-1900/ Resumen estadístico de todas las temporadas del FC Barcelona - Temporada 1899-1900 Statistical summary of all seasons of FC Barcelona - Season 1899-1900 es CIHEFE 17 January 2022 10 November 2022 CAT 1785 GK Juan de Urruela First club ENG GK A.
