The Barcelona Dragons was a team in the World League of American Football from 1991 and 1992, and in NFL Europe from 1995 to 2003.
Their home field in Barcelona was the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuic, the 1992 Olympic Stadium, and later the Mini Estadi.
The team was made part of the FC Barcelona organization in 2002 as the FC Barcelona Dragons.
As the franchise's fan support decreased during the final years, it also made the Dragons fly over rough finacial grounds.
After the 2003 season, the Dragons were discontinued and they were to be replaced in the league by the Cologne Centurions.
The Barcelona Dragons won the World Bowl once in 1997, and finished as runner-ups in 1991, 1999 and in 2001.
For the entire duration of the Dragons' history they had only one head coach, El Caballero Jack Bicknell.
