- ^ The away kit is predominantly white, inspired by a kit worn by Johan Cruyff in the 1970s. The crest is that used in 1978.[8]
- ^ The third kit is intended as a visual metaphor of the "Barça DNA". Using traditional Barça away aqua blue, a weave pattern in blaugrana evokes DNA. Barça DNA is the history, playing style, and development of young talent at the club.[9]

Season overview[edit]
June 2023[edit]
Barcelona finished the previous season on 3 June 2023, winning the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League.[12]
Defensive midfielder María Pérez, who played in the first team for several seasons while on a B team contract, extended her deal on 7 June. She signed a permanent first team contract until June 2025.[13] On 19 June, Barcelona announced the signing of right-back Ona Batlle on a free transfer from Manchester United.[14] There was one departure in June, of Emma Ramírez; though she had a contract until the end of the 2023–24 season, Ramírez and the club came to a mutual agreement for contract termination.[15]
July[edit]
On 4 July, the club announced that it had terminated the contract of Nuria Rábano.[16]
On 6 July, GOAL announced a new Goal 50 list, the "World-Class Club" of 25 elite players; 8 Barcelona players were included.[17] On 8 July, Mariona Caldentey became the first female footballer to be awarded Catalunya Ràdio's Trofeu Kubala for the best goal of the previous season, for her long-range goal against FC Rosengård in the previous season's Champions League.[18]
The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup began on 20 July; Barcelona was the most-represented club at the tournament, with 18 players for eight national teams: including new signing Batlle and Giulia Dragoni of the B team, they counted 9 for Spain, 2 each for England and Norway, 1 each for Brazil, Italy, Nigeria, Sweden and Switzerland.[19]
The Catalan government announced on 25 July that the institution of the women's team had been awarded the Medalla d'Honor del Parlament de Catalunya, being the first sports team to receive it.[20] Catalan president Anna Erra announced the honour with a speech detailing the virtues of the team and its status as a reference.[21][22]
On 28 July, Keira Walsh suffered a knee injury while playing for England at the World Cup, though confirmed the next day to not be an ACL injury.[23]
August[edit]
Pre-season training began on 1 August. There were only 8 players from the first team present at this first session, with the rest at the World Cup; 24 B and C team players, including new signings, also attended.[24]
After missing a game, Walsh had been cleared fit for England's World Cup match against Nigeria on 7 August, but picked up another injury and was taken off after playing 119 minutes of the knock-out game.[25][26] The day after, it was reported that she was expected to be fit for their next match.[27] On 11 August, Spain players Laia Codina and Aitana Bonmatí had to be substituted with injuries in their quarter-final match against the Netherlands; Codina received a blow to the cheek and hamstring discomfort, the most worrying injury, while Bonmatí experienced recurrence of adductor discomfort from an injury picked up in the previous match against Switzerland. The coaching staff said that they expected both players to be fit for the semifinal, though would have to wait to test Codina on the pitch.[28][29] Barcelona was also the most-represented club in the semifinals, with England, Spain, and Sweden making it to the final four.[30]
On 12 August, Barcelona opened the pre-season with a 3–0 win against AEM Lleida in a friendly played behind closed doors at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. Clàudia Pina, Ariana Arias and Martine Fenger scored the goals for the team. Though still missing all of the World Cup players, and with only 13 B team players continuing to train for the pre-season, the matchday squad was managed so that nobody (for Barcelona) played more than 45 minutes.[31][32]
Following their semifinal victories, Spain and England both reached the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup final for the first time. Between the finalists, there were 11 Barcelona players: Batlle, Bonmatí, Caldentey, Codina, Cata Coll, Salma Paralluelo, Irene Paredes, María Pérez, and Alexia Putellas for Spain, and Walsh and Lucy Bronze for England.[34]
On 18 August, it was announced that Manchester United had signed Geyse for €300,000 – the most expensive sale in Barça Femení history – and Arsenal had signed Codina.[35][36]
Fridolina Rolfö and Sweden won the bronze medal match of the World Cup on 19 August, with Rolfö being named player of the match.[37] Later that day, Barcelona held another pre-season friendly, the first at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, defeating Montpellier 2–0, with Alba Caño and Laia Martret scoring in the first and last minutes.[38]
On 20 August, Spain and England contested the FIFA World Cup final, with 10 of the 11 Barcelona players (all but María Pérez) featuring in the match. Spain won 1–0 to win their first women's senior title; England achieved their best performance at a World Cup as runners-up. Bonmatí received the Golden Ball award as the best player of the tournament, with Paralluelo named the best young player of the tournament.[39][40][41] During the match, Codina had to be substituted with a recurrence of her injury.[42]
The World Cup final match saw records set by several Barcelona players: Putellas became the first woman to have won the FIFA Women's World Cup, UEFA Women's Champions League and the Ballon d'Or;[43] Paralluelo became the first woman to win the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and the FIFA Women's World Cup, while also being the first player to hold both the U-20 World Cup and the senior World Cup titles at the same time; eight of the nine Barcelona players representing Spain became the first female players in history to win both the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA World Cup in the same year;[44][45][46] and Bronze, starting her 20th career World Cup match, became the England player with the most starts in the World Cup.[47]
On 22 August, it was announced that the club had signed Dutch versatile player Esmee Brugts for free, with Brugts saying it had been her dream to play for Barcelona.[48] It was also reported that María Pérez would be leaving the club on loan for a year, already having a return plan.[49]
Barcelona defeated Juventus 5–0 on 24 August to win the Joan Gamper Trophy for the third time in front of 5,485 spectators at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.[50][51][52] Codina's transfer to Arsenal was formally announced when the English club began training on 29 August, for a fee of just over €100,000.[53]
The club undertook a pre-season champions tour in Mexico, playing their first match there on 29 August.[54][55] They won the game for the CAMP3ONAS Tour 2023 invitational trophy by defeating Liga MX Femenil champions Club América 2–0 at the Estadio Azteca in front of 34,931 fans.[56][57] Pina and Judit Pujols scored the goals for the team.[58]
On 31 August, Barcelona midfielder Bonmatí won the UEFA Women's Player of the Year Award for her performances during the previous season. She became the third Barcelona player to win the award; including Putellas winning it twice, this made Barcelona the club with the most wins of the award (four). It also became the first club to receive the award in three consecutive years. There were three other Barcelona players in the top ten: Paralluelo (fifth), Walsh (seventh) and Graham Hansen (eighth). Coach Jonatan Giráldez came third for the UEFA Women's Coach of the Year Award.[59][60]
September[edit]
On 1 September, Barcelona ended their Mexican tour and pre-season with a 1–0 win against Tigres UANL in front of 39,501 spectators at the Estadio Universitario,[61] finishing pre-season with a perfect record of five wins in five matches and no goals conceded.[62][63] On 5 September, Rolfö and the club confirmed that she would have surgery for a knee injury that had developed in prior months.[64][65]
On 6 September, Barcelona announced the transfer of Swiss versatile player Ana-Maria Crnogorčević to Atlético Madrid for an undisclosed fee.

Barcelona's first match of the 2023–24 Liga F was scheduled for 10 September, but was not played due to the Liga F players' strike.[68]
In an England squad announcement on 13 September, it was confirmed that Walsh had sustained a calf injury; England manager Sarina Wiegman said it was minor but Walsh was still not fit to be called up.[69]
On the evening of 13 September, the first team (including the reserve players in the first team set-up; not including Rolfö who had recently undergone surgery) attended the Palau del Parlament de Catalunya to receive the Medalla d'Honor.[70] The next day, the nominees for The Best FIFA Football Awards were announced: Bonmatí, León, Paralluelo and Walsh were nominated for The Best FIFA Women's Player; Coll and Sandra Paños were nominated for The Best FIFA Women's Goalkeeper; and Giráldez was nominated for The Best FIFA Women's Coach.[71][72]
On 16 September, Barcelona got their first win of the season, beating Madrid CFF 2–0 away thanks to goals from Oshoala and Caroline Graham Hansen.[73] Brugts made her debut and Putellas became the second player in the club's history to reach 400 appearances with the club (only behind the club legend Melanie Serrano, who holds the record with 517 appearances).[74]
The first matches of the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League A were held in September. Some Barcelona players were not selected due to injury; others were selected despite having withdrawn; and León and Guijarro withdrew after being selected as a boycott. The international break also saw youth games played, with two of Barcelona's first team called up to Spain's under-23 team (one of whom also withdrew). Following a turbulent time in the Spain team, Putellas and Paredes were reinstated as its captains, also helping broker the "Treaty of Oliva" as a roadmap to improving the RFEF's treatment of the national women's team.[75] On 24 September, Norway confirmed that Graham Hansen had been injured before she was taken off during their match two days earlier, and that she was returning to Barcelona and would miss their next game.[76]
October[edit]
The team played three league games (including the rescheduled first matchday) in the first week of October, winning 2–1 away to Sporting de Huelva;[77] 6–0 against Valencia in their first home match of the season, including two own goals scored by Valencia defender Claudia Florentino;[78] and 3–0 over Real Sociedad, with a goal from Putellas and a brace from Graham Hansen.[79]
The winning streak continued with a 1–0 victory over Atlético Madrid on 15 October;[80] the goal was scored by Putellas, who became Barcelona's leading goalscorer with 182 goals.[81][82][83]
On 20 October, the draw for the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage was held, with Barcelona drawn into Group A alongside Rosengård, Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt – they had been a similar group the previous year, with Frankfurt the only new team.[84][85][86] The next day, Barcelona defeated Granada 6–1. Oshoala scored a brace and Batlle scored her first senior goal for the club.[87]
On 30 October, Aitana Bonmatí won the Ballon d'Or Féminin, becoming the first women's player to win the World Cup; the Champions League; and the Ballon d'Or in the same year,[88][89][90] and the first player to win the World Cup Golden Ball; the Champions League MVP; and the Ballon d'Or in the same year.[91] Paralluelo, Rolfö, Guijarro, Mapi León and Oshoala were ranked 3rd, 4th, 8th, 16th and 20th respectively.[92] The club received the Women's Club of the Year award, given to the team with the most nominees for the Ballon d'Or.[93][94]

In early November, Barcelona Femení announced that they had hired Marc Vivés as their new sports director following Markel Zubizarreta's departure at the start of the season. The club had spent a month and a half conducting an "exhaustive and intense" interview process; though renewals and other player issues were on hold during this time, the board felt the importance of having someone perfect for the job and the team outweighed speed. They also sought a candidate who would be able to handle another responsibility, planning a "step forward" in its women's development. It was reported that Vivés would join the Barcelona staff in December 2023,[97] though he was present for the first squad's training session on 13 November.[98]
Barcelona started their Champions League campaign on 14 November with a 5–0 win against Benfica. Putellas and Bonmatí scored two goals each, and Oshoala closed the match with a bicycle kick goal in the 61st minute.[99]
On 19 November, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5–0 in the first El Clásico of the season in front of 38,707 spectators, to get their twelfth win in twelve games. They matched their scoreline for biggest win in a women's Clásico and took a new club record for largest home attendance in the league. It was also the team's 67th straight home win in the league, having not lost a league match at home since February 2019.[100][101] Bonmatí, Hansen, Caldentey, Pina and Vicky López scored a goal each to complete La Manita, with López becoming the youngest player (male or female) to score a goal in a Clásico.[102][103]
Barcelona went 0–1 down in the first half against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany on 22 November, scoring three goals in the second half to win 3–1;[104][105] Paralluelo netted a brace with the other goal scored by Caldentey for her 100th Barcelona goal, becoming the fifth player to achieve this number and the only one to score in the Champions League every season she has been with the club.[106]

The FCF crowned Bonmatí as the Best Women's Player, with Batlle (then with Manchester United) and Codina placing second and third respectively; María Pérez was named the Most Promising Women's Player, followed by Júlia Bartel and Meritxell Font.[109] The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) also released their annual rankings at the start of December, with Barcelona Femení being ranked the best club team in the world, and in UEFA.[110][111]
On 7 December, the club announced that centre back Paredes had a thigh muscle injury and would not be fit to play until the new year. Paredes had been out of training at Barcelona for several weeks due to a serious bacterial illness that left her weak, but was still called up to the Spain team; Barcelona had warned Spain that she should not play, but she was used anyway, with sports media being critical of how the national team seemed to lack player welfare and was not transparent about injuries.[112][113][114] The next day, fellow centre back María León suffered a meniscus tear in training, set to be unavailable for several months following surgery, potentially until the end of the season. The injuries to the pair depleted the number of available defenders for Barcelona, as well as adding to a lengthy medical list for the club in general.[115][116][117]
The nominations for the IFFHS awards were announced on 8 December: Paralluelo, Bonmatí and Guijarro were nominated for the IFFHS World's Best Women Player award; Paralluelo, López, Brugts and Dragoni were nominated for the World's Best Youth Women's Player award; Bonmatí and Walsh were nominated for the World's Best Women Playmaker award; Paños was nominated for the World's Best Women Goalkeeper award; and Giráldez was nominated for the World's Best Women's Club Coach award.[118]

Barcelona is the sixth team to reach this milestone.[123]
The next day, ESPN released its 2023 ranking of the best 50 women's footballers, with 13 Barcelona players featured.

In the last league game of 2023, away against Costa Adeje Tenerife on 17 December, Barcelona got a comfortable 2–0 victory thanks to goals from Graham Hansen and Walsh.[127] Tenerife had reduced the dimensions of the Heliodoro pitch by five metres, in a move reported to be an attempt to stifle Barcelona's width within the legal limits of the league. Both the goals were scored in the second half, with Graham Hansen converting a penalty to increase her large season goal involvement tally. Walsh scored her first and Barcelona's 50th league goal of the season, in her 50th appearance for the club; the shot was taken from inside the penalty area, something notable for Walsh.[128][129][130] Giráldez confirmed his departure in a press conference the day after this match.[131]
He then managed the team to his 100th victory in charge of them on 21 December,[132] ending the year with a dominant 7–0 win over Rosengård in the return leg of their Champions League group stage fixture and qualifying for the quarter-finals with two games to spare. Paralluelo got a brace with Walsh, Graham Hansen, Pina and Torrejón scoring a goal each; the seventh goal was an own goal from Wik, as in the previous match.[133][134] Following the match, injured defender León announced her contract renewal from the pitch.[135]
On 26 December, Aitana Bonmatí won the IFFHS World's Best Player award for the year 2023, and became the second Barcelona player to win the award after Alexia Putellas' wins in 2021 and 2022. Bonmatí was ranked first with 202 points, with teammates Paralluelo ranking second with 64 points and Caldentey ranking tenth with 8 points.[136] In the other IFFHS awards, Bonmatí was named the Best Women's Playmaker on 199 points, with teammates Walsh in fourth (44 points) and Caldentey in eighth (24 points);[137] Paralluelo won the Best Young Women's Player with 191 points, López placed sixth with 15 points while Dragoni and Brugts were joint-tenth with 6 points each;[138] and Giráldez won the Best Women's Club Coach award with 180 points.[139]

The Best FIFA Football Awards were held on 15 January. Of Barcelona's major nominees, Bonmatí won The Best FIFA Women's Player for the year 2023,[149] and also made her first appearance in the FIFA FIFPRO Women's World 11.

It was the first time Barcelona conceded three goals in a match since a 1–3 loss to Bayern Munich in December 2022, and the first time they conceded four goals in a match since a 3–4 loss to Atlético Madrid in June 2021. Hansen got a brace, with Guijarro and Bronze scoring a goal each; Bronze scored with the last touch of the match to equalise.[157][158][159]
February[edit]
The first two days of February featured departure announcements. On 1 February, the club announced the immediate departure of Oshoala; her transfer to a team in the NWSL had been previously reported in media, with Oshoala joining Bay FC for a fee of around €150,000.[160][161][162] The next day, Paños announced that she would not renew her contract and therefore leave Barcelona at the end of the season.[163][164][165]
