FC Barcelona has confirmed a positive ordinary result of €2 million for the 2024/25 season, a sign that Joan Laporta’s financial recovery plan is truly taking hold. This marks the second straight year of stability after the club’s chaotic recent past. Barcelona is still yet to move to the Nou Camp and still have to play the clash against Girona at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys following some unavoidable issues; however, they will take solace from the financial regeneration.
Even while playing away from the iconic Camp Nou for a second season, Barça revealed via the club’s official website that they managed to generate a massive €994 million in ordinary revenue, falling just €6 million short of the symbolic billion mark. The club credited its comeback to booming commercial performance, global fan engagement, and smart cost management even though on the pitch things have not been going to plan, as they recently succumbed to a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Sevilla.
The club revealed:
FC Barcelona has made available to its members’ representatives financial documentation relating to the 2024/25 season and the budget for the 2025/26 campaign, due to the Ordinary General Assembly on 19 October.
For the second consecutive year, the Club has ended with positive ordinary results (€2 million), consolidating its economic recovery and operational efficiency across all areas. Ordinary revenue has reached €994 million, despite having completed a second season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Good on-field results and fan engagement have boosted stadium income (+€39 million), while record attendance and commercial performance have helped consolidate growth.
Sponsorship income reached a record €259 million, largely thanks to a renewed long-term deal with Nike and several new brand partnerships. Merchandising sales also exploded, rising 55% year-on-year to hit €170 million, powered by Barça’s growing e-commerce presence across 170+ countries.
Despite operating from the smaller Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, matchday income actually grew by €39 million — proof of fans’ loyalty even in exile. Online, Barcelona continued to dominate too, with the club’s YouTube channel crossing 24 million subscribers, the most of any sports team worldwide.
On the financial side, debt dropped to €469 million, down €90 million from last year, while the wage-to-income ratio now sits comfortably at 54%, well under UEFA’s limits.
However, extraordinary items like a €15m UEFA fine and the €178m revaluation of Barça Productions pushed the post-tax result to a €17m loss. Still, the club insists its core business is healthy and sustainable.
Looking ahead, Barcelona has set an ambitious €1.075 billion revenue target for 2025/26, banking on matchday boosts as fans return to the new Spotify Camp Nou and record-breaking merchandising expected to top €200m.
