President of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta:
"The first time FC Barcelona made American territory was in 1937 in New York, it was crucial for the club to remain in the midst of the Spanish civil war.
Our team played here at the Hamilton-Metzfield Stadium in the heart of Brooklyn, which was a baseball stadium that was then known as the commercial field.
In New York, Barcelona was received as a true ambassador for democracy and as a symbol of Catalan identity and freedom in the fight against fascism.
Had it not been for that tour, which is one of the most important moments in the history of FC Barcelona, maybe they would not have been there now.
On behalf of FC Barcelona, thank you very much for your historic hospitality."
