FC Barcelona members voted to withdraw medals awarded to Francisco Franco, finally putting an end to the privileges granted by the Catalan club to the Spanish dictator.
The club's board proposed withdrawing the medals at a meeting in February. 671 members approved the proposal at the annual general assembly on Sunday, while two opposed the resolution and seven abstained.
Barça, whose boss Josep Soniol was killed during Franco's Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), which killed about 500,000 people, awarded medals to the dictator in 1951, 1971 and 1974.
The current president, Josep Maria Bartumio, said before the vote that the club wanted to withdraw the medals for a long time, but lacked the necessary documents to do so.
"Yes, this is too late, but it is better to do it now than not at all," he said. "This is also a tribute to our parents and grandparents who suffered so much during the dictatorship."
Franco ruled Spain from the end of the civil war until his death in 1975.
