The Ordinary General Assembly has approved both the 2024/25 financial results and the 2025/26 budget, signalling strong member support for FC Barcelona’s ongoing economic recovery.

For last season, the club recorded a €2 million ordinary profit, with the approval passing by 412 votes in favour (78%), 84 against (15.9%), and 31 abstentions (5.9%). The 2025/26 budget, projecting €1.075 billion in income, €1.019 billion in expenses, and a €4 million net profit, was also passed, with 418 votes in favour (82.6%), 55 against (10.9%), and 21 abstentions (4.1%).

On the right track

Like the previous year, Barça closed the financial year in the black, with a €2 million profit, a sign, said treasurer Ferran Olivé, that the club’s “economic situation is under control.” Despite a second season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, total revenue rose to €994 million, up from the €893 million budgeted. Matchday income reached €39 million, fuelled by strong fan attendance.

Olivé hailed “a €100 million year-on-year increase despite playing at Montjuïc” and said the club was “getting close to the €1 billion mark.”

Commercial performance was another highlight: sponsorship income hit a record €259 million, driven by the new Nike deal and other strategic partnerships. Merchandising revenue climbed 55% to €170 million, thanks largely to the global rollout of Barça’s e-commerce platform, now active in over 170 countries. Olivé also reaffirmed the Board’s decision not to sell BLM.

Debt reduced by €90 million

After one-off items (including the revaluation of Barça Produccions (now valued at €178m), €70m from the new PSL hospitality product, and a €15m UEFA fine for Financial Fair Play) the club posted a net result of -€17 million after taxes.

Even so, the club’s financial structure remains solid, with debt down to €469 million, €90 million less than the previous year and €211 million less than in 2021. The wage-to-income ratio now stands at 54%, two points better than last season and comfortably within UEFA limits, “a crucial issue for this Board,” Olivé stressed.

Before the Assembly’s vote, Olivé struck an optimistic note: “The club is not sick. But we must remain extremely vigilant not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Sporting expenditure must stay under control.”

Over €1 billion in revenue expected

For 2025/26, Barça is projecting €1.075 billion in income, driven by the progressive return to the Spotify Camp Nou. The reopening should add around €50 million in stadium revenue, while sponsorship and merchandising are expected to keep growing, the latter aiming for a record €200 million in sales.
