The precandidate meets with hundreds of members in Girona and outlines the main pillars of the \u201cDefensem el Bar\u00e7a\u201d candidacy<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girona, February 18, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Joan Laporta met today with hundreds of club members in the city of Girona, specifically at the Auditori Viader of the Casa de Cultura, to present the \u201cDefensem el Bar\u00e7a\u201d candidacy and his intention to be re-elected by the members in order to consolidate the path of recovery, stabilization, and growth that began in 2021. After a term focused on reversing a \u201ccritical\u201d financial situation and restoring stability in the Club\u2019s social, sporting, and institutional spheres, Laporta asked for the members\u2019 support to complete the project and \u201ckeep winning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A step forward in the economic sphere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The economic proposal for the new term centers on definitively consolidating the Club\u2019s financial model, following parameters of financial discipline and economic solvency, \u201cwhile maintaining institutional, social, and sporting principles that are essential beyond the business sphere.\u201d The reduction of debt, the increase in commercial revenues, and the improvement of strategic contracts have laid the foundations for a more competitive Club that is less economically vulnerable. The gradual return to the new Spotify Camp Nou, he noted, \u201chas been a turning point\u201d in this regard. The renovated stadium not only symbolizes the modernization of the institution but will also act as a driver of future revenue generation, strengthening the Club\u2019s financial capacity. Laporta described the decision to build a new stadium in 2021, at a difficult moment for the entity, as \u201cbrave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competing to win, with Bar\u00e7a DNA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the sporting front, the project aims to continue promoting a structure that combines young players developed at La Masia with players from other countries\u2014a formula that, under his mandates, has always worked. The objective, therefore, is to maintain teams capable of competing for all titles with a recognizable identity faithful to the Club\u2019s tradition. The candidacy also highlights the importance of women\u2019s football, \u201ca source of pride for all Bar\u00e7a supporters,\u201d as well as the professional sections as an expression of a unique multi-sport model that broadens Bar\u00e7a\u2019s social and international impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than management: model and commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laporta placed at the heart of his project the defense of the Club\u2019s associative and democratic ownership model, stating that under his leadership FC Barcelona will continue to be owned by its members, thereby safeguarding its independence and identity. The candidacy advocates for a Club closely connected to the country\u2019s reality and committed to its culture, while also maintaining a universal outlook. This new stage is conceived with a dual focus: consolidating what has been rebuilt over the past five years and accelerating growth in an increasingly competitive global context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A call to the future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The candidacy led by Joan Laporta appeals to the \u201cexperience, determination, and confidence\u201d of his team to face the challenges awaiting Bar\u00e7a in the coming years. The message is clear: \u201cthe key moment Bar\u00e7a is experiencing cannot be led by proposals that generate uncertainty or lack experience.\u201d Laporta invited the members gathered in Girona to \u201ccomplete together\u201d the Club\u2019s transformation and to open a new era of success that will place Bar\u00e7a, stronger than ever, at the top of international football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
