Penya Barcelonista de Viena – Official FC Barcelona Fan Club

Our namesake

Udo Steinberg, born in Berlin in 1877, was one of the German-speaking pioneers of early sport in Barcelona.

After an apprenticeship in a mechanical workshop, he studied at the Technikum Mittweida from October 1895. In April 1899 he founded the Lawn-Tennis Club Barcelona together with many later founding members of FC Barcelona. On 28 January 1900 he attended the founding meeting of the German Football Association in Leipzig as a delegate of Chemnitzer SC Britannia and Mittweidaer Ballspiel-Club, and returned to Barcelona the same year.

With his name, the Vienna penya remembers the German-speaking foreigners who co-founded FC Barcelona around Hans Gamper.

25% off tickets for the FC Barcelona Museum.
Free entry to games at the Mini Estadi, including Barça B, Juvenil A (UEFA Youth League) and Femení A.
Free entry to games of the professional handball, roller hockey and futsal teams at the Palau Blaugrana when you show your card at the ticket offices. For category A games you get 50% off.

Club membership through the penya

If you have received the penya card for several years in a row, you can apply for FC Barcelona membership (soci) through the penya. We pass your details on to the club’s Penyes department, which checks the requirements. If your application is accepted, the club issues a certificate. You collect it in person at the Penyes office in Barcelona and then complete your registration there.

Registering in the Penyes portal

For the card you also need to register in FC Barcelona’s Penyes portal. This is a separate step from signing up with us. You are activated once your sign-up with the penya is complete and your fee has reached our account.

In FC Barcelona’s Penyes portal (opens in a new tab), click Penyes Registration and enter an email address.
Choose Accept and Continue and enter the 6-digit code from the email.
Enter your phone number and confirm it with the 6-digit code from the text message.
Enter your first personal details and finish with Accept and Finish.
On the start page, choose Penyista Area and complete your personal details. You need the number of a valid photo ID. The question Are you FC Barcelona Member refers to club membership, not the penya. Usually I’m not a member is the right answer.
Under My Penyas, enter the number 2.026 in the Penya Searcher, select Penya Barcelonista de Viena “Udo Steinberg” and click Join.
Accept the Terms and Conditions. Once we have checked your details, we activate you.

Code of conduct

The penya rejects any form of discrimination and disparagement.
We treat players, officials and the referees with respect, whether they belong to our team or the opponent.
We respect fans of other teams as long as they do not behave in a discriminatory way themselves.
We support clubs, associations and fans who act against discriminatory chants and violence, for example with stadium bans.
Every member refrains from discriminatory acts. In case of repeated violations, the general assembly can vote on exclusion.
