FC Barcelona has released its latest financial report, describing the 2024–25 season as a year of “economic recovery” and steady progress toward stability. The Catalan club posted ordinary profits of €2 million, marking its second consecutive year in the black, even while playing away from the Spotify Camp Nou at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
In a statement from the club, Barça reported that its total operating income reached €994 million, driven by strong stadium attendance, merchandising growth,
and record sponsorship deals totaling €259 million. The renewed partnership with Nike and the club’s expanding global e-commerce network, now active in more than 170 countries, helped merchandise sales soar to €170 million, up 55% from the previous year.
Despite these gains, the club reported a final post-tax loss of €17 million due to one-off factors such as UEFA’s €15 million fair play sanction, accounting adjustments linked to Barça Produccions, and the sale of hospitality products under the new Personal Seating License (PSL) system.
Perhaps most notably, the club’s debt has been cut to €469 million, a €90 million improvement from the previous year. Barça’s wage bill now represents 54% of ordinary income, comfortably within UEFA’s financial limits and a reflection of tighter spending controls under president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco.
Looking ahead to the 2025–26 season, Barcelona projects ordinary revenues of €1.075 billion as the team gradually returns to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou. The club expects another rise in matchday income, continued commercial growth, and potentially its third straight year of positive results.
Beyond the balance sheets, the numbers show a club finally emerging from the financial turbulence of recent years.
In particular, the record-breaking merchandising thanks to a booming global fan base (its YouTube channel is now the world’s most-followed in sports) has helped bring huge incomes in. Laporta has also avoided the excesses of his predecessor, Josep Maria Bartomeu.
If all goes according to plan, Barça’s economic comeback appears to be taking firm shape.
