The FC Barcelona board released the official figures that ratify the club's "economic recovery." Despite not having managed to operate under the 1:1 rule in the last transfer market and the delays in the reopening of the Spotify Camp Nou, the board headed by Joan Laporta reports ordinary income of 994 million euros and a positive balance of 2 'kilos' in 24/25.
The 994 million represents a historic record in ordinary income, exceeding the €990M from 18/19, the last season before the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Including taxes and extraordinary items, the net balance is -17 'kilos'. In that sense, the club assures that it has reached "the operational efficiency of all areas."
Barça Reports Record Sponsorship Revenue in 24/25
The bulk of the profits obtained in the 24/25 financial year come from sponsorship revenue. Thanks to the renewal with Nike, Barça reported profits in the order of 259 million euros, while the merchandising section also contributed another 170 'kilos' [million], with a growth of 55%.
The statement issued by the club also explains that "the good sporting results and the response from the fans have boosted stadium revenue (Montjuïc) by more than 39 million", a considerable figure that should grow in 2026 once the return to Spotify Camp Nou is finalized.
Debt reduction and adjustments to the wage bill
Furthermore, the board led by Joan Laporta also confirmed the reduction of the total debt accumulated by Barcelona by 90 million euros compared to the 23/24 financial year.
In that sense, the club's outstanding balances reach 469 'kilos', considering the impact of variable operations such as the sale of VIP seats at the Estadi and the resale of Barça Studios (now Barça Productions).
On the recommendation of its financial auditor, Crowe Spain, Barça is only counting the money already collected for VIP seats (€70M), in addition to reducing the valuation of Barça Productions from €400M to just €178M, in accordance with what has been invoiced so far.
Thus, in the section of extraordinary items, a balance of -€91.8M is included for this commercial asset (the club owns 51%), as well as the UEFA fine (€15M) for non-compliance with Financial Fair Play.
Regarding the wage bill, Barça claims to have reduced it by 2 percentage points (54%) in terms of ordinary income compared to the previous year, maintaining a limit adjusted to the demands of LaLiga and UEFA to avoid future sanctions.
Projection of Over 1 Billion in Profits for Fiscal Year 25/26
Finally, FC Barcelona is predicting a record-breaking 25/26 season, exceeding 1,000 million euros in earnings for the first time. The projection points to closing the fiscal year with a total of 1,075 'kilos' in ordinary income, thanks to the injection of around 50M that will be provided by the reopening of the Spotify Camp Nou in its different phases.
Joan Laporta will present all the figures in detail at the ordinary general assembly on Sunday, October 19. Regarding merchandising revenue, the goal is to reach 200 'kilos' in profits, taking advantage of the growth of the club's social networks and the Barça One platform.
