Each sport: Barcelona conference is expected to be held on October 19, and the club hopes to return to the Camp Nou on the 18th
According to "Everything", the Barcelona membership meeting is expected to be held in a remote form on October 19, and the club is working hard to return to the new Camp Nou in the league on October 18.
The weekends on October 18 and 19 will be a very critical and compelling moment for Laporta and its board of directors. Although there has not been an official confirmation, various signs indicate that the membership meeting will be held remotely on October 19, the same day as last year. Del Rio, the club's new general manager, is leading the executive team to work hard to complete financial work, including budget for the current season and settlement for the previous fiscal year. The last general meeting approved the annual budget ended June 30 of 893 million euros and the after-tax profit was 5 million euros.
However, since the originally planned €154 million in revenue from Camp Nou was not realized (because the team has not returned to Camp Nou), other channels need to be filled.
In addition, an important topic in this congress may involve proposals from a group of members led by Mark Siria who are collecting signatures to demand a vote on whether the BLM can be sold. In 2022, the board was authorized by the General Assembly to sell 49% of the main revenue stream, but the group led by Laporta has been saying it is reluctant to do so.
If October 19 is determined as the date of the general meeting, then October 18 may be even more important. In the afternoon of the same day, Barcelona will face Girona. The club is struggling to be able to return to Camp Nou in the league on October 18, with no first check-in permit and unable to return to Camp Nou on Sunday against Real Sociedad.
They think there is still enough time to meet all the security requirements put forward by the city government, and in fact, sources at the Barcelona City Hall also said that Barcelona is about to return to their home court. If the good news on October 18 is confirmed, Laporta may enjoy a peaceful and pleasant membership the next day and have a joyful weekend.
