"The current board of directors were to pick a date between March 15 and June 15 as per the club statutes, but it remained very clear that Joan Laporta was of the idea of completing all the formalities quickly. After all, the board believed that having the newly elected members in office early would impart stability in the administration towards the business end of the season."
"Now, as relayed by RAC1, the date for the presidential election has been set, and it will be held on the 15th of March 2026. It will, thus, be conducted at the very beginning of the stipulated window. The board initially had two dates shortlisted - March 15th and March 22nd, specifically because they both coincide with games at the Spotify Camp Nou to boost the member attendance."
Barcelona held its first official 2026 board meeting and the directors selected March 15, 2026 as the presidential election date, the earliest option allowed by club statutes. Joan Laporta pushed for rapid completion of formalities so newly elected members could provide administrative stability during the season’s business end. The board shortlisted March 15 and March 22 to coincide with home games and boost member attendance. Once the date is announced, Laporta and participating members will resign to trigger the vote. Opponents include Xavi Vilajoana, Victor Font, and Marc Ciria, while sporting improvement bolsters Laporta’s prospects despite lingering financial concerns.
