Our history, from 1975 to today
Born as a football supporters’ club in the Pla del Ramassà in the mid-seventies, the club has grown from local tournaments and town festivals to federated football, and today it is also a social organization that uses sport to promote inclusion and gender equality.
Origins (1975-1979)
- 1975 Start of the Ramassà Sports Association as a neighborhood project in Les Franqueses.
- 1976 Competitive debut in the Spring Championship of Supporters’ Clubs (later the Vallès County Championship), promoted by a group of friends from the Pla del Ramassà

This year we’ve been fortunate to be selected to take part in Relats Solidaris.
In 2025, the project is sponsored by the best player in the world, European and world champion Aitana Bonmatí (FC Barcelona), with whom we already had the chance to collaborate on our project “Inclusive women’s football for asylum seekers, refugees, and newcomers in Barcelona: training and socio-labour inclusion”.
At the presentation event on 22 April 2025 at the Antigua Fàbrica d’Estrella Damm in Barcelona, where this collaboration was announced in front of a large audience, we also took the opportunity to unveil the new campaign “Football is refuge”, created by Biombö Studio.
