== Sports == Terrassa was a pioneer in the introduction of [[field hockey]] and [[korfball]] in Catalonia and played an important role in the introduction of [[basketball]]. The most important sport in the city is field hockey. During the [[1992 Summer Olympics|Barcelona Olympic Games]] in 1992, Terrassa was the city where the field hockey competition was played. The great number of hockey players from Terrassa who have participated in the [[Olympic Games]] over the years has led to Terrassa's being referred to as the "most Olympic city in the world". Between 1928 and 2004, Terrassa sent 124 athletes to the Olympic Games, the majority of whom were hockey players. Three local field hockey clubs, [[Atlètic Terrassa Hockey Club|Atlètic Terrassa]], [[Club Egara]] and Club Deportiu Terrassa have all won the [[División de Honor de Hockey Hierba]] and the [[Copa del Rey de Hockey Hierba]]. Atlètic Terrassa and Club Egara have also won the [[EuroHockey Club Champions Cup]]. Other local sports teams include Club de Rugby Carboners de Terrassa, [[CN Terrassa]] ([[water polo]]), [[Terrassa FC]] (association football), [[CP San Cristóbal]] (association football) and Sferic Terrassa ([[basketball]]). Terrassa is the home and birthplace of [[FC Barcelona]] and [[Spain men's national football team|Spain national football team]] midfielders [[Xavi (footballer, born 1980)|Xavi]] and [[Dani Olmo]].
