The 1902 Copa Pergamino, also mentioned as Concurs Pergamí, was a football competition held in Barcelona between September and November 1902. Its promoter was the cartoonist and calligrapher Eugeni Bargés i Prat, who gave a polychrome parchment of his creation as a gift to be contested in the events of the Festes de la Mercè.

History

The competition, which was open only to those teams founded during the 1901–1902 season that had not participated in the Copa Macaya, was contested by teams: Irish FC, Iberia SC, FC Internacional, Catalonia FC, and Club Catalunya de Foot-ball, according to the names of the time. FC Internacional, however, withdrew in the middle of the contest after a controversy in its match against the Irish. Iberia was proclaimed champion, after winning by the minimum of the tiebreaker, also against the Irish.

Despite being intended for modest clubs, the organizing committee of the contest was made up of members of the main entities of the city:

President: Andreu Camps Sala, from the Irish FC Secretary: Sebastian Casanellas, from the Spanish Club Vocals: Pere Cabot, Luis de Ossó, and Josep Vidal, all three from FC Barcelona.
