He formed a football club that contains players from Switzerland, England, and Catalan (a tribe in Spanish). Gamper scored 103 goals between 1901 to 1903 and became President of the club until his death in 1930. Barcelona stadium was first built in 1909 with a capacity of 6,000 spectators. First time Barcelona won the Spanish league was in 1929, just one year before the death Gamper. At that time, Barcelona has become a respected team and was able to recruit foreign players like Hector Scarone (Uruguay).
