Our mission and goal
Put simply, our mission is to bring Culés from Baltimore and the surrounding areas together to watch, celebrate, and support our beloved FC Barcelona.
For us, Charm City Culés is a new chapter for Barça supporters in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and the surrounding areas. We’re building our own community to bring local Culés together and share the passion, energy, and togetherness of Un Dia de Partit right here in Charm City.
Through our watch parties, we turn every match into a shared experience. The songs, the celebrations, the nerves, the debates, and everything that comes with supporting Barça. We experience it together.
Whether you’ve supported the club your whole life or you’re just discovering what it means to be a Culé, there’s a place for you here.
If you were looking for Culés, through and through, you found them.
What we are
We’re a supporters group, not a business. We pick a bar, reserve the space, and make sure the match is on with the sound up. Everything else, from the flags and shared plates to the debates about the back line, comes from the people who show up.
Who comes
Our members range from lifelong Culés who have supported Barça for as long as they can remember to Baltimore locals who discovered Barça through a friend, roommate, or a love of the game.
We keep things friendly, welcoming, and centered on supporting the Blaugrana through every high and low. Whether you’ve followed the club for years or simply love football and want to enjoy the match with a good crowd, you’re welcome at our watch parties.
- 01Wear your Barça colors. Jerseys, scarves, shirts, and whatever else shows who you’re here to support.
- 02Take care of the bar staff. Tip well and treat them with respect. They take care of us and make space for our watch parties.
- 03Keep it passionate, not personal. No abuse toward players, referees, staff, or each other. Cross the line and you may be asked to leave.
- 04Anyone can wear the shirt. There are no trivia tests, no loyalty tests, and nobody is going to quiz you on the 2009 squad.
