Meeting with the World Federation of FC Barcelona Penyes

Xavier Vilajoana was the main speaker in the second part of the Penyes Council Plenary. The former FC Barcelona board member shared his view on the Club’s current situation and placed special emphasis on the crucial role of the members and the penyes movement in preserving its identity.

Vilajoana spoke about his family and his emotional ties to the Club, highlighting his experience as a Barça football and futsal player. He also recalled his time on the board of directors, where he focused on promoting La Masia and women’s football — two areas that have brought great success to the Club in recent years.

In addition, as a leading figure in the construction sector (he is president of Construmat and of the Association of Developers and Builders of Spain and Catalonia), Xavier Vilajoana shared his perspective on the construction of the new Camp Nou and the concerns surrounding the return of activity. This topic sparked significant interest among the representatives of the penyes, who also voiced other concerns and proposals regarding the Club’s social operations.
