FC Barcelona is facing challenges ahead of the 2025-26 La Liga season, with concerns over delays and deficiencies in the renovation of the Spotify Camp Nou stadium potentially affecting their ability to play there in September. Financially, the club has exceeded its spending limits and urgently requested a financial guarantee. On August 13, the Barcelona board unanimously approved a 7 million euro guarantee to address budget imbalances and comply with La Liga's financial fair play regulations, enabling the registration of pending player signings. This move aims to ensure the club can field its squad for the season opener scheduled for Saturday. Meanwhile, Sevilla still needs to register seven players with La Liga, and Levante is also experiencing difficulties, having only three players registered 72 hours before their debut. Additionally, Miguel Galán of the National Commission for Financial Control of Sports (CNFE) has called on the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) to dismiss La Liga president Javier Tebas for revealing Barcelona's financial accounts.
