FC Barcelone : Joan Laporta démissionne
Joan Laporta has officially resigned as president of FC Barcelona, along with several members of its board of directors. This decision may come as a surprise, but it is in fact in strict accordance with the statutes of the Catalan club, just weeks before the presidential election scheduled for Sunday, March 15th.
In accordance with Article 42.f of FC Barcelona's statutes, the current president is required to resign if he wishes to stand for re-election. It was within this framework that Joan Laporta submitted his resignation at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors held on Monday, a meeting during which the official call for nominations for the elections was also launched.
In its statement, the club specifies that several current executives have followed the outgoing president in order to participate in the electoral process. These include the vice-president in charge of institutional affairs, Elena Fort, the vice-president of the social sector, Antonio Escudero, as well as board members Ferran Olivé, Josep Maria Albert, Javier Barbany, Miquel Camps, Aureli Mas, Javier Puig and Joan Soler y Ferré.
Despite these departures, the club's institutional continuity is ensured. A provisional board of directors has been established to manage day-to-day operations until the end of the term, set for June 30, 2026. This new structure is led by Rafael Yuste, appointed interim president, assisted by Josep Cubells as vice-president and secretary, and Alfons Castro as treasurer. Directors Josep Ignasi Macià, Àngel Riudalbas, Joan Solé i Sust, and Sisco Pujol complete this transitional team.
Once these changes were formalized, the new board continued its work according to the established agenda. For his part, Joan Laporta is now focusing on the election campaign, aiming to win over the club members and secure another term as president of FC Barcelona.
