FC Barcelona has warmly welcomed Arman Tsarukyan, an Armenian UFC lightweight contender, with a personalized No. 11 jersey presented by President Joan Laporta and Vice President Rafa Yuste.
In a notable gesture, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta and vice president Rafa Yuste extended a warm welcome to Armenian UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan. During a recent visit, they presented him with a personalized No. 11 jersey adorned with his surname, symbolizing his connection to the club.
Tsarukyan was also seen with what appeared to be a Barcelona membership welcome package, although the specifics of his membership status remain unverified. The club’s members, known as socios, collectively own FC Barcelona, highlighting the community’s integral role in the club’s identity.
The visit coincided with Tsarukyan attending the highly anticipated El Clásico match at Spotify Camp Nou on October 25, where he was accompanied by former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The match concluded with Real Madrid defeating Barcelona 2–1, a significant event in the football calendar that drew considerable attention.
