Joan Laporta to run for re-election: impact on Barça basketball?

Barcelona's president confirms 2026 candidacy — a move that could boost spending in the basketball section

Joan Laporta announced his intention to run again as Barça president in 2026, a decision that could benefit the basketball team, long subjected to budget cuts.

Ahead of the elections, the club may increase investment. Kevin Punter’s renewal and Shengelia’s signing are already signs of ambition. Should Joan Peñarroya fall short in the ACB playoffs, Xavi Pascual is the leading candidate for a potential coaching change.

Pascual is close to Laporta and Juan Carlos Navarro, and is reportedly willing to lower his salary to return — a powerful electoral move in a critical moment.
