Official: Barca elections to be held in 2015 no longer 2016

This is could be the start of great things to come for Barcelona as Thegoalmac can reveal that  Incumbent Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has announced the club will hold an election at the end of the current season.

An election was due to be held in 2016 but Bartomeu has decided to bring it forward to due to pressure on the club, as issues on and off the pitch have mounted this season.


After turning up an hour late for Wednesday’s press conference, Bartomeu said: “Sorry for the delay. I have called this press conference to communicate we have decided to call elections at the end of the season.

“The elections have been called to ease the pressure around the club. It’s undue pressure as this club
works well socially and economically.”

Bartomeu, who confirmed he would stand, added: “I ask all candidates to use fair play during the campaign as they talk to socios who will vote.

“In the end the most important thing is that the team fights for trophies, so everyone - including the candidates and supporters - should work towards that.”
