I have to say that I am not a fan of football/soccer, though its definitely interesting to watch the match occasionally.
A fun trivia
The nickname “Culers” (or “Culés”) for FC Barcelona fans has an interesting origin dating back to the early 20th century.
During that time, Barça played at the Camp de la Indústria, a stadium that was too small to accommodate all the fans. As a result, many supporters had to sit on the walls surrounding the pitch. Passersby walking outside the stadium could see the backsides of these fans sitting on the wall, leading to the nickname “Culers”, which comes from the Catalan word “cul”, meaning “backside” or “butt”.
Over time, the term became a badge of honor for Barcelona supporters, symbolizing their loyalty and passion for the club. Today, Barça fans proudly embrace the nickname, making it an integral part of the club’s identity
