The 1977–78 season was the seventh year and fourth formal season in existence for P.F. Barcelona. With women's football flagging in Spain,[1] Barcelona played against teams from other European nations.

By September 1977 there was no longer a women's league in Catalonia, with the idea of one also considered somewhat unrealistic; nevertheless, Maria Teresa Andreu said that the four women's teams in Catalonia had played against each with an aim to launch a Liga Femenina de Fútbol de Cataluña. With no formal competition, Barcelona was one of the large teams that continued playing, including against women's teams from leagues in other countries. Andreu, president of P.F. Barcelona at the time, felt that FC Barcelona respected the women's team, with the club supporting and involving them.[2]
