Speakers: Simon Kuper, David Triesman

FC Barcelona is not only the most popular sports club ever, it’s one of the world’s most influential organisations, with four million visitors to its Camp Nou stadium each year and some 250 million followers on social media. Simon Kuper was given unprecedented access to the inner sanctum as he charted the club’s transformations over recent decades, from Johan Cruyff’s arrival in the 1970s to a global powerhouse now dealing with financial turmoil and the departure of talisman Lionel Messi. The FT columnist and author of The Happy Traitor will be in conversation with former chairman of the FA, David Triesman.
