The club already fields League of Legends and VALORANT teams and now aims to qualify for the annual VALORANT Game Changers Championship later this year.
Despite its rich history in traditional sports, FC Barcelona expanded into esports in 2019 with a Rocket League roster.
Since 2024, the club has also been competing in VALORANT’s tier-two ecosystem as part of the Challengers Spain: Rising circuit. Its most notable achievements to date include the 2024 Rising Split 2 trophy and a top 10 finish at VCT Ascension EMEA in the same year.
