The FC Barcelona squad wore a unique typography designed by Anna Vives, a young woman with Down syndrome from Moià, during their Champions League victory against Newcastle.

This initiative, organized by the Barça Foundation and UEFA, marks International Down Syndrome Day. It is the first time this social font has been used in an official Champions League match, highlighting the importance of visibility for people with disabilities in global sports.
Vives has a long-standing connection with her hometown club, CE Moià, which also featured her design for its centenary jerseys in 2022. The project, which started in 2011, has now reached over 15 million downloads worldwide and has been used by clubs like River Plate and Dinamo Kyiv.
The 7-2 win at Camp Nou was witnessed by Vives from the presidential box alongside Joan Laporta. The inclusive font will be seen again on April 2nd during the women's Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
