Laporta to resign next Monday ahead of Barcelona presidential elections | Barca Universal
"Barcelona are preparing for a decisive institutional moment, with major changes set to be confirmed at the start of next week. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club will officially announce the call for presidential elections next Monday, alongside the formal resignation of current president Joan Laporta. The move will activate a carefully regulated electoral process governed by the club's statutes."
"To prevent this, at least one-third of the current board, a minimum of six members, must remain in office. These directors will continue to oversee the club's day-to-day operations until the current mandate formally ends. Notably, during this transitional phase, leadership will pass to Rafa Yuste, who will assume the role of acting president. Yuste is expected to hold that position until June 30, ensuring institutional continuity while the electoral process unfolds."
Barcelona will officially call presidential elections next Monday, with Joan Laporta formally resigning and triggering the regulated electoral process under the club’s statutes. Any current board member who wants to appear on Laporta’s future electoral list must resign their post before campaigning, to ensure fairness and transparency. At least one-third of the board, a minimum of six directors, must remain in office to avoid imposition of a temporary management committee and to oversee day-to-day operations until the mandate ends. Rafa Yuste will assume the acting presidency until June 30. The club will appoint the Electoral Board and Polling Office and will open signature collection once the register is approved.
