History

This sports brand was established in Terrassa, by Josep Mestre and Joaquim Ballbé in the 1940s,[2] with its name coming from the founders' initial syllables.

After years of successfully creating shorts, shirts and shoes for the popular beaches of Barceloneta, it was not until 1981 that Meyba became internationally known by signing an agreement with FC Barcelona to provide sports and leisurewear. During the 10 years that FC Barcelona wore Meyba apparel, the team won many prizes and honors. The team, composed of players such as Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman, José Mari Bakero and Pep Guardiola, has been known as "the Dreamteam V1".

However, in 1994, the company fell into receivership, leading to its closure in 1997. It was then acquired by Pulligan Group, owned by Joan Canals.[3] In 2013, the brand rights were acquired by the Dutch brand Premium, which manages the brand rights of Johann Cruyff.[4][5]
