FC Barcelona celebrate LGTBIQ+ Pride Day by flying the rainbow flag

Last year's location was the Spotify Camp Nou, but the venue will be Estadi Johan Cruyff this year due to the ongoing works at the stadium.
The Club has again chosen the more inclusive Progress Identity flag for this action. This sees white, pink, soft blue, brown and black stripes added to the classic rainbow flag in the form of a right-facing arrow. The aim is to represent a movement in unwavering progression and that there is still some way to go for every different community in society to undergo fully integrated and accepted.
Eight flags are flying on the South Goal be upright, rippling in the wind to stand for sexual diversity until July 6.
