Josep Elías was born in 1880 in [[Tarragona]]. At a young age, he moved to Barcelona where he became interested in [[gymnastics]], [[cycling]], football, and [[sailing]],<ref name=Cat/> and therefore, he became a member or director of several organizations about those sports, such as the [[Royal Spanish Cycling Federation|Spanish Cycling Union]], the [[Royal Spanish Gymnastics Federation|Spanish Gymnastics Federation]], and the Catalan Sports Confederation (1922), and also in clubs, such as the [[Royal Barcelona Maritime Club|Real Yacht Club and Royal Barcelona Maritime Club]], FC Barcelona, [[Sportsmen's Club]], [[Real Club de Tenis Barcelona|Catalunya Lawn Tennis Club]], and [[Hiking Club of Catalonia]].<ref name=Cat/> On 15 January 1917, he was invinted to be the second president of the {{ill|Federació Catalana d'Atletisme|ca|lt=Catalan Athletics Federation}}, but he did not accept it and this position was taken by [[Joan Matas]] instead.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://fcatletisme.cat/historial-presidents-de-la-fca/ |title=Historial Presidents de la FCA |trans-title=History Presidents of the FCA |language=ca |website=fcatletisme.cat |access-date=28 April 2024 }}</ref>

In the early 1910s, Elías used to give lectures and conferences on sport and Olympism at the ''Gimnasio Garcia Alsina'', becoming a great critic of the [[Spanish Olympic Committee]] (Comité Olímpico Español, COE) of [[Gonzalo Figueroa y Torres]], the [[Marquess of Villamejor]], while [[Narciso Masferrer]], who had the same interests and objectives than him, adopted a lower profile, hence fulfilling the roles of [[Good cop, bad cop]].<ref name=Cihefe>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cuadernosdefutbol.com/2017/09/narciso-masferrer-y-los-origenes-del-olimpismo-en-espana/ |title=Narciso Masferrer y los orígenes del Olimpismo en España |trans-title=Narciso Masferrer and the origins of Olympism in Spain |language=es |publisher=[[:es:Centro de Investigaciones de Historia y Estadística del Fútbol Español|CIHEFE]] |date=17 August 2017 |access-date=28 April 2024 }}</ref> In his conferences he stated that the COE was "like the dog in the manger, it neither does nor lets things be done" and described its leaders as "lazy".<ref name=Efdeportes>{{Cite web |url=https://www.efdeportes.com/efdeportes/index.php/EFDeportes/article/view/3606/1780 |title=El Olimpismo en España.

It is always the same story, they want to consider themselves independent, without wanting to understand that their only right of existence is to be Spanish".<ref name=Cihefe/><ref name=Efdeportes/><ref name=lesport/>
