In the heart of sunny Spain, amidst the vibrant coastal atmosphere, the Barcelona Dragons find themselves embarking on a journey of transformation. Under new ownership for the past year, the Dragons are gearing up for their fourth consecutive season as underdogs in the European League of Football.

New Horizons: A Shift in a new direction

The Dragons' recent change in ownership ushered in a wave of transformation. Former general manager Bart Iaccarino parted ways with the team, paving the way for a fresh perspective. In his place, Jason Robinson, alongside Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith, stepped into leadership roles, injecting new energy and vision into the organization.
