Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Francesc de Paula de Moxó i de Sentmenat (18 March 1880 – 17 April 1920) was a Spanish politician and sports executive, who served as the 10th president of the football club FC Barcelona in 1913 and 1914, as well as the 5th and 13th president of the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona and Catalan Football Federation respectively. He was also a journalist and financial manager of Stadium magazine.

Early life and education

Moxó was born on 18 March 1880 in Calle dels Caçadors, Barcelona, as the son of Dídac Moxó (also spelled Moixó) (1857–1926), and of the Шаблон:Ill, Maria Mercè de Sentmenat i de Patiño (1857–1935), both born in Barcelona. The Marquise de Sant Mori was the promoter of the Шаблон:Ill neighborhood in Badalona.

Sporting career

Throughout his life, Moxó was heavily involved in Catalan sport, presiding over the Real Club de Tennis Barcelona for nine years, between 1911 and 1920, and under his mandate the club was moved to Carrer Ganduxer, where seven courts were installed. He was also the co-founder and president of the Шаблон:Ill in 1911 and directed the Catalan Football Federation in 1913. He practiced fencing and competed in numerous competitions, and was also one of the founders and the first president of the Barcelona Fencing Association in 1913. From 1914, he directed the Yacht Club Barcelona and, later, the Aeroclub de Barcelona. He also acted as a motor racing judge in some events, such as the Volta a Catalunya.

In the Assembly held on 30 June 1913, De Moxó was elected as the 10th President of FC Barcelona. He put an end to the existing schism between the club and the Catalan and Spanish Federations, and managed to get Barça reintegrated into both states. Despite his diplomatic ability, he was unable to resolve the internal conflict that existed at the club, which divided its members between the personalists who supported authoritarianism, grouped around Joaquim Peris de Vargas, and those who wanted a true democracy at FC Barcelona.

The other outstanding aspect of his time in charge of Barça was the progressive increase in professionalism among the players, a very controversial aspect at the time. In the sporting field, De Moxó was unable to celebrate a title, as the Barcelona team finished third in the Catalan Championship, while in the national tournament, it was unable to get past the regional classification phase. At the end of the season, and after just one year in the presidency, on 30 June 1914, De Moxó resigned and was replaced by Àlvar Presta.

Death

De Moxó died on 17 April 1920, at the age of 40.
