It's official, Joan Laporta will be running for FC Barcelona's vacant presidential seat.
Joan Laporta, a former FC Barcelona president and the frontrunner to win this coming election, has officially announced he is running.
He joins Josep Maria Bartomeu, Toni Freixa, Agustí Benedito, Jordi Majó and Jordi Farré as candidates. Bartomeu resigned as president recently to declare his candidacy in the election. He took over for Sandro Rosell, who also had stepped down.
Previous to Rosell, Laporta was in charge. FC Barcelona won four La Liga titles and two Champion League crowns during his reign.
