Reports Say Laporta Weighs April Date for Barcelona Presidential Elections

Local reports indicate he wants to reduce the sway of late-season results on member ballots.

Overview

  • Sport, as relayed by Barca Universal and echoed by Football España, reports that Joan Laporta is considering calling the presidential vote in April 2026.
  • No formal decision or announcement has been made by FC Barcelona, and the timing remains unconfirmed.
  • The reported aim is to hold voting before the season concludes so outcomes under Hansi Flick do not shape members’ choices.
  • Potential challengers are preparing campaigns, with Victor Font expected to run and Joan Camprubi Montal, Xavi Vilajoana, and Marc Ciria also making moves.
  • Jordi Cuminal is cited as a possible campaign manager for Laporta, continuing a role he held during the 2021 election.
