Joan Laporta vowed Barcelona will be “unstoppable” after he was re-elected club president for a further five years.<\/b><\/p>\n

Winning just over 68% of the vote, he will begin his second-consecutive term – and fourth overall – from 1 July, the La Liga club announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n

His opponent, Victor Font tallied almost 30% with the remaining votes void or invalid.<\/p>\n

Having taken office in March 2021, Laporta stepped down last month in line with club statutes in order to seek re-election.<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old described the result as “resounding”, adding “it gives us great strength”.<\/p>\n

“It makes us unstoppable,” he said. “No-one will stop us. Exciting years lie ahead. They will be the best of our lives.<\/p>\n

“This is a wonderful club, where the members elect their president and their board of directors. A club unique in the world, truly extraordinary.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
