Laportismo Without Laporta: FC Barcelona's 2031 Succession Plan

FC Barcelona faces a leadership transition as Joan Laporta's fourth presidential term concludes in 2031, with club statutes preventing him from seeking a fifth consecutive term.

As Laporta recovers from a recent arrhythmia episode, speculation grows about the future of "Laportismo" without its leader. The FC Barcelona president will be term-limited in 2031, creating a need for careful succession planning to avoid the indecision that marked his departure in 2010.

Analysts suggest Laporta should establish his successor well in advance, drawing lessons from his previous transition when he initially struggled with the process after his first term ended. tr-sport.click
