Barca Yemen
With just over 20 million people, Yemen is the poorest Arabian country, with GDP per capita of only $ 800. People live largely on agriculture, despite the water shortage. Its capital, Sanaa, has 1,700,000 inhabitants and is situated at 2,350 meters altitude. It is the nation's capital since 1948, and it's Islamic cultural center was designated by UNESCO Cultural Capital of the Arab world in 2004.
Life in Yemen is not easy. For example, the literacy rate to only one of every two people and for women only at 30 percent. In San'a, despite being the capital, things are not much better. But in any difficult situation, there is always a safety valve. And one of them is football ... and Barca.
We do not have much information, but we present the FC Barcelona in Sana'a. Dressed like FC Barcelona, even with players advertising for Unicef. It is an amateur team, playing against other teams in the capital. These players, are proud to consider themselves ambassadors of Barça in Yemen. And of course, they try not to miss a Barca game.
