Vicenç Garcia (es Mercadal, Menorca, 1945) arrived in Santa Coloma de Gramenet as a young man when the town still had fields and orchards right where there is now concrete. As a youngster, he was a good footballer and even debuted in friendly matches with Espanyol's first team, despite being a Barcelona supporter. Later, he was a coach in Barça's youth categories and for many teams, while prioritizing looking after the family business, Industrias Garcia Grau. And almost as a game, he discovered futsal and created a team for his workers which, over time, became the second oldest futsal club in the world: Futbol Sala Garcia, known by everyone as Industrias Garcia, one of the best schools for this sport in the country. At 80 years old, Vicenç is finally retiring this summer. He is stepping down as president of the club he founded half a century ago and closing a chapter. </p>]]></description>
