The Sports Court of Catalonia has paved the way for another 4 year period of Joan Laporta as president of FC Barcelona.


The sports tribunal decided not to take the case any further. Joan Laporta has not been punished in any way or being banned to stand for election. The court hearing lasted 3 hours and finally judge Jose Domingo Valls ruled that the wrong interpretation of the statutes of FC Barcelona by Laporta and his board members had been of minor nature and will therefore not be taken any further.


At present, no other candidate has come out to oppose or challenge Laporta so far. If no candidate stands for election, Laporta could be re-installed as president without opposition by the end of August.
