The FC Barcelona presidential elections, scheduled for March 15, have opened the pre-candidacy phase with four members seeking the required support to launch their official campaign.

The FC Barcelona elections, set to take place on Sunday, March 15, 2026, will be the fifteenth in the club's history, which has had 40 different presidents to date. The board of directors officially called the elections on Thursday, January 22, marking the start of the electoral race.
Currently, four club members are running for the presidency as pre-candidates: Joan Laporta, Víctor Font, Marc Ciria, and Xavi Vilajoana. These hopefuls must now undertake the crucial task of collecting and submitting a minimum of 2,321 member signatures.
Once collected, the signatures must be validated by the electoral board. Only those who successfully pass this threshold will be officially proclaimed candidates for the Barça presidency, kicking off the formal electoral campaign.
