Ahmad Sarmad Ansari

Ahmad Sarmad Ansari has been covering Spanish football as a writer for Sempre Barca since 2022 and has been an avid football fanatic since 2010. He mainly covers on and off-field happenings taking place at Barcelona including transfer news, administrative changes, match reports, and any other eventful news coming out of the club.

Raafay Humayun

Raafay Humayun is a life-long fan of FC Barcelona and an avid enjoyer of all things Blaugrana. Having fallen in love with the club for the way they defined football for him, he now spends his time watching games, analyzing the happenings in them, and digesting any and everything related to his beloved Catalan club. He also writes as an author for Sempre Barca hoping to deliver the latest updates to his fellow ‘culés’.

Kannan

Kannan V is a lifelong football obsessive whose hair seems to turn a little greyer with every sentence written, a small price to pay for a sport that’s been fueling his joy since 1994.

Football appreciation comes instinctively to him now, shaped by years of falling in love with teams across eras: from Brazil’s iconic 1994 World Cup winners to Marcelo Bielsa’s modern-day Leeds United. But if there’s one side that truly made him leap out of his chair, it’s Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona between 2008 and 2012, the benchmark he still measures wonder against.

Today, his work blends football with his other passion, writing, as he creates thoughtful, meaningful pieces that give fans around the world something worth reading.
