Futbol
El futbol va ser sens dubte l’esport més popular a la capital catalana. El van introduir ciutadans d’origen suís (Joan Gamper), britànic (els germans Ernest Witty i Arthur Witty) o alemany (Udo Steinberg), sovint instal·lats a Barcelona per motius laborals i ben connectats amb els cercles financers de la ciutat, o bé per catalans (com l’empresari Gaspar Matas, fundador del Palamós FC, el club de futbol degà de Catalunya fundat el 1898) que l’havien descobert en les seves estades a Anglaterra. Les associacions i els clubs van expandir la popularitat del futbol. Alhora, la premsa especialitzada també va ser un important factor de difusió. Entre aquestes publicacions van sobresortir El Mundo Deportivo (1906), La Jornada Deportiva (1921- 1925), Stadium (1911-1930) o Xut! (1922-1936), aquesta darrera amb un destacat component humorístic.
