Joan Laporta’s Barcelona Presidency at Risk Ahead of Key Assembly Vote
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta is facing a critical moment as the club’s general assembly is set for Saturday, October 19. The assembly will vote on the approval of the club’s financial report, and several members are raising concerns over its accuracy.

According to Marca, opposition members believe that the reported €91 million loss for the past season has been downplayed. A major point of contention is Barça Vision, the club’s division handling visual rights, which has been reported to generate €208 million in revenue. Many assembly members argue that this figure has been inflated, prompting several Barcelona socio groups to call for a vote against the financial report’s approval.
Should the report be rejected, it could represent a significant setback for Laporta, particularly with the 2026 presidential elections looming. His primary opposition comes from Victor Font, a well-known club figure and former presidential candidate. The outcome of the assembly vote could shape the future of Laporta’s leadership and Barcelona’s direction.
