The 1988–89 season was the first for Barcelona Atlétic as the subsidiary team of Club Femení Barcelona. Barcelona Atlétic competed in the Lliga catalana and the Copa Catalana.

The team had been formed in November 1988, when another local team, Gràcia Cal Majó, merged with CF Barcelona. This merger occurred before the leagues had begun that season, with Barcelona set to compete in the newly created Liga Nacional and Gràcia Cal Majó in the now-secondary Lliga catalana. Both teams had already competed in the group stage of the Copa Catalana (a direct predecessor of the Copa Catalunya), and in the same group, with both advancing to the knockout stages.^[2]

Two Gràcia Cal Majó players at the start of the season – Àfrica Ocaña and Gemma Homar – were already included in the Catalan national team at the time of the merger,^[2] and had been integrated into the CF Barcelona team (instead of remaining with Barcelona Atlètic) by March 1989.^[3]

League

Barcelona Atlètic started the league strong in their first match before suffering three tough defeats in a row. On the fifth matchday, they worked hard to post another strong victory.^[4] Over the next three matchdays, Barcelona Atlètic continued climbing the league table with impressive wins, considered to be hitting their stride and getting the feel for the league after a "stuttering start".^[5] On matchday 8 against Catalunya, they were held to 0–0 at half time but "scored as they pleased" in the second half to post a 6–0 victory.^[5] Their rise continued in the next match when they defeated league leaders Torroella, though not without controversy. Described in Mundo Deportivo as a high quality and entertaining match, there were some dubious refereeing calls, including two notable decisions that both went in Barcelona Atlètic's favour: a potential penalty for Torroella not given, and a borderline goal scored by Torroella chalked off.^[6] The winning streak ended in the next match, when Barcelona Atlètic faced Athenas, the other team ahead of them in the league, in a match of two halves. Barcelona Atlètic had dominated the first half of the match, scoring in the third minute and going into the break with this advantage, before Athenas "started playing well" in the second half and put four goals past Barcelona Atlètic in ten minutes.^[7]
