On 12/04/1925, S. A. Española Alfa Romeo decided to give a magnificent cup to the winner of the meeting between F.C. Barcelona, ​​then Spanish champion, and Club Nacional de Montevideo, who were on the European tour — La Gira Europea. The cup was given to celebrate the sporting event between the Catalans and the Uruguayan side, who would play at Les Corts, in front of a splendid and enthusiastic audience. They decided to name it "Copa Alfa Romeo".

However, the cup was never awarded to either team. After all, there was no direct tie-breaking method. Nevertheless, there was talk about a supposed match that would be played during the Uruguayan tour of 1925, but the match, in fact, was never put on the club's schedule.


ARTURO DE VECCHI (16/04/1925): Nothing certain for now. It depends on the progress of our tour and the commitments we make. Of course, we are as interested as Barcelona in celebrating it. We'll see.
