As Barcelona navigates its way through ongoing challenges, the spotlight falls on Joan Laporta’s presidency and the looming 2026 elections. With four years under his belt, Laporta faces scrutiny over the club’s struggle to compete at the highest European level and its stagnant financial situation.
Recent announcements from potential candidates like Marc Ciria and Victor Font shed light on the dissatisfaction with Laporta’s leadership. Font, who contested against Laporta in 2021, criticizes Laporta’s player signings, highlighting a significant investment in players like Vitor Roque and Oriol Romeu who have seen limited playtime under Xavi’s management.
Font’s potential candidacy for the 2026 elections remains uncertain, contingent upon the club’s trajectory over the next two years. However, his vocal stance against Laporta’s management reflects his commitment to Barcelona’s future, emphasizing the need for effective solutions across social, economic, and sporting domains.
Amidst the political maneuvering, Font continues to wield influence, rallying support from fans and former players alike. His recent letter to Barça members outlines his vision for the club, advocating for structural changes, including the appointment of a relevant CEO and a revamped management model focused on strategic planning.
