Barcelona’s interim board of directors convened for their first session since the March 15 elections that saw Joan Laporta’s victory. The meeting was chaired by Rafa Yuste, with all permanent directors remaining in charge until the end of the season participating.

Discussion focused on preparing the new season’s budget and finalizing the current year’s finances. The club also celebrated surpassing 150,000 members, marking a significant growth in fan support. Planning for the men’s first team preseason was addressed, considering the ongoing World Cup and important forthcoming matches.

Financially, Barcelona is expected to meet its projected revenues of €1.075 billion despite some deviations due to limited stadium attendance and match relocations. Sponsorship contracts have helped balance losses, and upcoming friendlies, including a potential match in Peru, could boost income further.

The meeting establishes the strategic direction for the club’s near future, essential for maintaining stability and sporting success at Barcelona.
