In a decisive election held on March 15, 2026, Joan Laporta was re-elected as president of FC Barcelona, garnering 68.18% of the votes cast by club members. Laporta received a total of 32,934 votes, while his main opponent, Victor Font, secured 14,385 votes.

The election saw a turnout of 42.34%, with 48,480 members participating in the voting process. This marks a significant engagement from the club’s membership, reflecting the importance of the leadership role within FC Barcelona.

Laporta’s victory is particularly notable as he becomes the first democratically elected president of FC Barcelona to serve two separate terms. He previously held the presidency from 2003 to 2010 and returned to the role in March 2021.

In his victory speech, Laporta expressed his gratitude, stating, “This is a resounding result and it gives us great strength. It makes us unstoppable. No one will stop us. Exciting years lie ahead. They will be the best of our lives.” His remarks highlight the optimism surrounding his leadership and the future of the club.

Laporta’s election victory came with a margin of 18,549 votes over Font, a clear indication of the support he has among the club’s members. He emphasized the need for unity among fans, stating, “In this election, the opposing candidacy came with an idea of confrontation between all Barca fans. Today, the members voted for us because, together, we will defend Barca against everyone and everything.”

Additionally, FC Barcelona recently advanced to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League after a remarkable 8-3 victory over Newcastle United, further boosting the club’s morale.

Laporta’s leadership is expected to focus on strengthening the club’s competitive edge and fostering a sense of community among its supporters. His previous tenure was marked by significant successes, including the club’s dominance in both domestic and European competitions.

As the club moves forward under Laporta’s guidance, many fans and analysts are eager to see how his vision will unfold in the coming years. The atmosphere surrounding the club is one of excitement and anticipation, with Laporta at the helm.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding specific plans for the club’s future initiatives, but the re-election of Laporta is seen as a pivotal moment for FC Barcelona.
