Joan Laporta has been re-elected as president of FC Barcelona, securing another term that will keep him in charge of the club until 2031.

The announcement comes after weeks of intense campaigning at the club, with Laporta facing strong competition from presidential candidate Víctor Font.

The election campaign created considerable debate among members, as both candidates presented contrasting visions for the future management and direction of the Catalan giants.

Observers believe the team’s recent sporting revival played a crucial role in Laporta’s victory. Since the arrival of head coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona have experienced a significant turnaround on the pitch, re-establishing themselves as serious contenders across competitions.

The club’s recent success — including last season’s La Liga title — combined with the promotion of several talented young players to the first team has strengthened confidence among members in Laporta’s leadership.
