Since its emergence in 2008 with its Catalan channel @fcbarcelona_cat, Barça has been strengthening its message on Twitter, which has become a must in order to keep up to date with Barça, in a fast, consistent and effective way. In addition to the latest news, via Twitter the fans can follow what’s happening at any moment in Barça matches (with hashtag #fcblive) and take part in the conversation. In the same way, #stagefcb will permit the grouping of info on the team, during their time in England next week.
