FCBarcelona will convene its board of directors next Thursday, October 29, with the meeting scheduled at the Seminari de l'Arquebisbat in Tarragona. President JoanLaporta and the rest of the club's senior officials will meet in the 19th century building, which in addition to serving as a cultural and academic center, hosts small conferences. The session is part of the club's traveling meetings and will follow an offering that will be made in the Tarragona Cathedral.
Before the meeting, Laporta and the directors will carry out an offering at 10:00 a.m. together with Archbishop Joan Planellas in the Capella de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, also known as Capella de l'Encarnació or de l'Anunciació. At that same moment there will be a speech by the archbishop and the president from the Major Altar, before moving to the Seminari for the official meeting.
The agenda of the meeting will include economic matters and the management of the Estadi, but the most notable point will be the situation of the first team after the recent defeats against RealMadrid and PSG. The defeat against ParisSaint-Germain and the loss against RealMadrid have generated a discussion about the direction of the squad and the strategy to follow in the season. In addition, the awarding of the Ballon d'Or to GabrielSans will be discussed, which adds an element of international recognition to the club.
In the context of the club awards, LamineYamal and VickyLópez were awarded the “Best Young Talent” trophies in the male and female categories, respectively. CataColl was recognized as the best goalkeeper and PereRomeu as the best women's soccer coach. For her part, AlexiaPutellas, who now plays for LondonCityLionesses, won the title of best footballer of the year.
With the meeting scheduled for October 29, Barça seeks to consolidate its medium and long-term plans, addressing both sporting challenges and financial and infrastructure issues. The results of the meeting will determine the club's next steps in the season and how it will respond to the demands of the competition and its fans.
