Barcelona’s presidential elections will now be held on March 7, 2021. The rearranged date comes after a meeting was held between the club’s acting president, Carles Tusquets, and the three main candidates to succeed him.

During Friday’s meeting, which candidates Joan Laporta, Victor Font and Toni Freixa, attendees pencilled the election in for the March date after the original January date went off the table.

Due to the current coronavirus restrictions in Catalonia, the Catalan government and FC Barcelona agreed not to hold elections as originally planned on January 24.

The new date of March 7 is now in the calendar, though everything will depend on how the pandemic progresses over the next couple of months.
