Narciso Masferrer Sala (26 April 1867 – 9 April 1941) was a pioneer of Catalan sports and sports journalism. He was present at most Catalan sports initiatives of the first third of the 20th century, founding and becoming director of a number of sporting projects, including some of the greatest sporting institutions in Catalonia, such as clubs, federations and sports press.

He was present at most Catalan sports initiatives of the first third of the 20th century, founding and becoming director of a number of sporting projects, including some of the greatest sporting institutions in Catalonia, such as clubs, federations and sports press. Masferrer is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the amateur beginnings of gymnastics and football in Spain, as he was the fundamental head behind the foundation of Spanish Gymnastic Federation in 1898, which acted as the Spanish football federation until 1909. He was the first promoter of sports in Spain with a global and ambitious vision. He is best known for his pivotal role in the founding of FC Barcelona, publishing Joan Gamper's infamous advert in Los Deportes magazine to find players interested in forming a football team, and then hosting the infamous meeting at the Gimnasio Solé on 29 November 1899 that saw the birth of the club, of which he was a vice-president from 1909 to 1910, and he even held the presidency of the Catalan Football Federation in 1913. He also left a big mark in cycling, holding the presidency of the Unión Velocipédica Espanyola, the predecessor of the Catalan Cycling Federation, in 1911, from which he promoted the creation of the Volta a Catalunya, the first cycling race per stage in Spain and one of the oldest in the world. As a pioneer of sports journalism, he was the founder of El Mundo Deportivo, Los Deportes and "Stadium" magazine, he was a correspondent for the French publication L'Auto and editor of La Vanguardia for 17 years, from 1912 to 1929. He was thus a very important figure in the construction of modern sports journalism in Spain. In the press, his activity was basically centered on the creation of innovative journalistic projects and the promotion of sporting activity among citizens. (en)
