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.
