The economic recovery continues on track. 90m debt reduction and the wage bill is at 54% ordinary income, which is completely fine. The club predicts the budget will exceed 1b € in the next season. Laporta saved the club financially, brought it back to a healthy status, while not losing any competitiveness, on the contrary increased it again. This can't be highlighted enough.

FC Barcelona confirms its economic recovery
The Club announces ordinary positive results for the second year in a row and predicts a historic season with more income and profits thanks to the gradual return to Spotify Camp Nou
FC Barcelona has made available to its members' representatives financial documentation relating to the 2024/25 season and the budget for the 2025/26 campaign, due to the Ordinary General Assembly on 19 October.
For the second consecutive year, the Club has ended with positive ordinary results (€2 million), consolidating its economic recovery and operational efficiency across all areas. Ordinary revenue has reached €994 million, despite having completed a second season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Good on-field results and fan engagement have boosted stadium income (+€39 million), while record attendance and commercial performance have helped consolidate growth.
In the area of sponsors, the Club has reached a new all-time high of €259 million, driven by the new contract with Nike and other strategic agreements. Another highlight is the performance in the area of merchandising, generating €170 million (+55% compared to the previous season), thanks to the international expansion of e-commerce, which now operates in more than 170 countries.
Following the financial impact of the revaluation of Barça Productions, which now has a final valuation of €178 million, the sale of the new hospitality product under the PSL (Personal Seating Licenses) model, which generated extraordinary income exceeding €70 million, and the signing of an extraordinary agreement with UEFA due to a breach of fair play regulations (resulting in a €15 million fine), the post-tax result was -€17 million. The Club’s results reflect a solid financial structure and a reduction in debt to €469 million, €90 million less than the previous financial year. Regarding the wage bill, Barça stands at 54% of ordinary income, improving by two points compared to the previous season and remaining clearly within UEFA regulatory limits.
For the 2025/26 season, the Club predicts a budget of €1.075 billion in ordinary revenue, driven by the gradual return to the Spotify Camp Nou, which is expected to increase stadium income by approximately €50 million, and which can continue the positive trend in sponsorships, and set a new merchandising revenue record, with the aim of getting close to €200 million.
Debt reduction and wage control
The Club presents, for the second consecutive year, positive ordinary results and an overall improvement across all revenue areas. Sponsorships and merchandising have reached record figures, consolidating the Club’s international projection, as demonstrated by the growth of Barça’s YouTube channel, which is now the sports organisation with the most subscribers globally, over 24 million, and achieving record audiences, such as during the recent Gamper Festival, with 9.7 million unique users.
The reduction in debt and wage control place Barça in a strong position to face the new season, with a budget exceeding €1 billion in ordinary revenue and a forecast to maintain positive results for the third consecutive year.
