" Barca Fan Club Bucarest " Association was officially launched at Costinesti a day before the visit, on July 24th. As a preamble to the event, a delegation of representatives of the fan club team, of FC Barcelona and of the Romanian Football Federation, and two former players of the Spanish football team, Gheorghe Hagi and Gica Popescu, shared gifts and promotional items to the children in the Constanta Emergency Reception Center.
"Barca Fan Club Bucarest " was represented by President Ionel Blănculescu (Honorary Advisor to Prime Minister Victor Ponta) and Vice-president Xavier Marco (Spanish businessman, resident in Romania). FC Barcelona was represented by Pau Vilanova (director member of the football club and responsible of fan clubs worldwide) and the Romanian Football Federation by general secretary Bella Kassai. Among the guests there were also Gica Hagi and Gica Popescu, two former players of Barca. Gica Popescu was the captain of the 1997 Spanish team, when they won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
Guests were greeted with a welcome speech by Petre Dinică, Director General of Social Assistance and Child Protection Department under whose authority is the Constanta Emergency Reception Center. "We are glad to have you here. Gica Hagi is an old friend of the Department and he supported us whenever he had the opportunity", said Petre Dinică. Barcelona representatives learned that the center is divided into four modules, and the children are brought here first, before moving them to another center, before entrusting to a family or before giving them into a foster parent care.
The center has a capacity of 30 beds, but right now houses about 50 children. "We wanted to be there for the children. We hope that such activities are going to be organized in Romania in the future. Barca Fan Club Bucarest will have the same slogan as FC Barcelona, "More than a club". We want to comfort as much as we can the suffering, to get involved in solving social issues, so that the spirit and joy of performance that FC Barcelona brings to Romania to be accompanied by an attitude that exists in abundance in Gica Hagi, Gica Popescu or Pau Vilanova, who coordinates Barcelona fan clubs from around the world", said Ionel Blanculescu.

"Yeeeeeees", came the answer from dozens of crystal voices. "We are here today primarily to smile together and enjoy the FC Barcelona. We offer you gifts and symbols to carry them with you and bring you memories of this day", said Ionel Blanculescu. Guests have handed Raluca Branov, the Reception Center’s director, a ball in the colors of Barcelona, with the signatures of all the players, and Gica Hagi and Gica Popescu signed on the back of the pictures with them in the Catalan club shirts. All children received autographs and Pau Vilanova gave them gifts. "Thank Yoooou", children enjoyed the gifts and posters.
