The Candidacy
2026
The people of the Defendem el Barça candidacy, led by Joan Laporta, are proud to have defended Barça against everything and everyone who has tried to tarnish our shield.
With courage and determination we have recovered the economy of a bankrupt Club; we have returned to the best stadium in the world and we have recovered the essences of a genuine style of play with La Masia as the backbone of the best multi-sports entity in the world.
All actions led by President Laporta have followed the premise that nothing and no one is more important than the shield of an institution represented by more than 140,000 members. With conviction and resilience, we are the only guarantors to ensure the foundational property model.
With your complicity and commitment, we have brought joy back to Barcelona fans. And now, with your support, we will continue to walk together on the path to excellence.
Because we love Barça. Because we defend Barça.
Commitment to the identity and values of the institution.
Be faithful
to the origins
Ambition with responsibility: move forward, improve, excel.
Building
the house of the future
Get excited about our shield, celebrate victories.
Install joy
in Barcelona
Joan Laporta
Dear Barcelona fans.
Five years ago you placed your trust in us to recover the Club’s economy, to restore order and institutional prestige, to build the new Spotify Camp Nou and to strengthen La Masia as the axis of the sports project. This is what we have done and this is what we will continue to do if you renew your trust in us on March 15th.
We will continue to do so because loving Barça means defending an institution that has been committed for more than 126 years to democracy, to freedom, to Catalonia, to our language and our culture; an institution committed to sustainability, to diversity, equity and inclusion, with a Foundation that puts solidarity at the service of people and contributes to having a better world.
Defending Barça is the key to building and moving forward to achieve sporting successes, economic stability, institutional greatness and to ensure that FC Barcelona is always owned by all of you, the members of Barça.
I, Joan Laporta, propose that we continue to defend Barça together with the strength of our history, our shield, our essences.
Because loving Barça means defending Barça.
Thank you very much.
Joan Laporta
