Laporta Defends Camp Nou Pricing as Font’s ‘Nosaltres’ Alliance Opens Barça’s 2026 Presidential Race

He signaled an election date would fall within the March–June 2026 window after rivals rallied around a transparency‑driven platform.

Overview

  • Speaking on RAC1, Joan Laporta said ticket prices for the Camp Nou return reflect internal studies, include a 20% discount for members, and will be adjusted as capacity expands.
  • He confirmed the board will drop the monetary guarantee requirement for candidates, maintaining signature thresholds, and will choose an election date to minimize disruption to the first team.
  • Barcelona received the 1B license paving the first team’s return to the Camp Nou this weekend, with Laporta noting the stadium works are not yet complete.
  • A day earlier, Víctor Font launched the ‘Nosaltres’ platform as a plural alternative to Laporta, emphasizing planning, accountability, and collective leadership.
  • Xavi Hernández publicly attended Font’s event, several socio groups aligned with the project, and Jaume Guardiola highlighted net debt in the €900 million to €1 billion range as a core concern.
