Joan Laporta has been re-elected president of FC Barcelona after securing more than 68 per cent of the votes in the club’s latest election.
His closest challenger, Victor Font, polled nearly 30 per cent of the votes, while the remaining ballots were declared void or invalid.
Laporta’s victory gives him another five-year term beginning on July 1, 2026.
According to BBC Sport, the new term will be Laporta’s second consecutive spell in charge and his fourth overall as Barcelona president.
He previously led the club from 2003 to 2010, a period highlighted by the appointment of Pep Guardiola as coach and Barcelona’s dominance in European football.
Reacting to his victory, the 63-year-old said the club was entering an exciting period.
“It makes us unstoppable. No one will stop us. Exciting years lie ahead,” Laporta said.
He also pledged to strengthen the team and complete the redevelopment of the club’s stadium, Camp Nou.
About 48,500 club members participated in the election, representing a turnout of 42.34 per cent.
Despite facing financial difficulties in recent years, Barcelona are currently enjoying a successful season, having won a domestic treble and sitting four points ahead of rivals Real Madrid in La Liga.
