FC Barcelona’s board of directors has confirmed the date for the club’s Ordinary General Assembly, with members set to gather, virtually, on Saturday, 19th September. The meeting arrives on the back of a landmark financial announcement: the Blaugranes reported positive ordinary results for a third consecutive season, with record income surpassing the €1bn mark for the first time in the club’s history.
According to the club’s official statement, the assembly will take place online, with the Table constituted at Auditori 1899 inside the Spotify Camp Nou facilities. The first call is set for 9.30am CEST, and delegates will vote on a wide-ranging agenda that includes the settlement of the 2025/26 financial year and approval of the budget for 2026/27.
Financing for the Espai Barça project sits at the centre of the meeting. Members are due to consider an increase in the credit obtained to carry out the project alongside the issuance of bonds secured by additional FC Barcelona audiovisual rights, continuing a financing strategy the club has leaned on repeatedly, as detailed in SempreBarca’s coverage of the club’s bond activity. The agenda also covers ratification of board and Economic Commission appointments, a report from the Members’ Ombudsman, member proposals and an open Q&A session.
The club attributed the record income essentially to increased use of the stadium, notable given that some first-semester matches were played at the Estadi Johan Cruyff and Estadi Olímpic, with further Spotify Camp Nou fixtures limited to a 42,000 capacity. The original budget had assumed a season starting at the stadium with 60,000 capacity from the outset, meaning the result was achieved despite operating conditions well short of what was planned, a point the club says underlines the stadium’s future potential once fully operational. Continued growth in sponsorship income and record merchandising turnover through subsidiary BLM were also cited as contributing factors.
On the sporting side, the board is expected to offer explanations regarding a distinctive summer transfer window and the squad’s competitive capability, context that touches on ongoing registration and transfer questions covered separately in pieces on Joan García’s registration situation and the club’s interest in Cristian Romero. The financial side, however, is set to dominate proceedings, with members ultimately deciding whether to unlock further Espai Barça financing as the 2026/27 campaign gets under way.
