Spanish giants FC Barcelona have reported a €17 million net loss for the 2024–25 season, despite generating a record €994 million in revenue, according to details presented at the club’s Ordinary General Assembly held on Sunday. Club president Joan Laporta, in what is likely his final address to members, explained that the accounts initially showed a small surplus before additional financial charges turned it into a loss. “Barcelona’s initial financial accounts depict a €2m surplus, before additional fees resulted in a €17m net loss overall,” Laporta revealed, according to reports by Marca. Laporta, however, maintained that the club’s financial health is steadily improving, pointing to progress both on and off the pitch. “In the economic realm, we have done everything so that you can continue being the owners of the club, the members, without having to dig into your pockets. We are very satisfied with that,” he said. The president highlighted a record €259 million in sponsorship revenue, describing it as evidence of Barcelona’s growing international market presence. He added that the club had also reduced its league-set debt limit by €90 million, calling it “no small feat.” “We are on the right track. We have made a titanic effort to contain spending,” Laporta added. On the sporting side, he praised the contributions of the coaching staff and the famed La Masía academy, noting that recent titles and performances reflect the club’s resurgence. He also referenced the ongoing Spotify Camp Nou redevelopment as a cornerstone of Barcelona’s long-term strategy. “We feel stronger than ever to complete Barça’s recovery in every area,” Laporta said. The General Assembly also approved the club’s financial statements and outlined the budget for the 2025–26 season, which aims to build on commercial gains while further reducing debt and completing the stadium reconstruction. The results mark a slight dip compared to the 2023–24 season, when Barcelona posted revenues below €900 million and recorded a modest €4.3 million profit.
