💶 Financial relief, Barça improve their credit rating 📈 | OneFootball

Morningstar DBRS, the credit rating agency, has confirmed the BBB rating for FC Barcelona. This financial approval represents a major international vote of confidence in the club’s economic solvency and the viability of its current institutional project.

In its report, the agency highlights the enormous strength of the Barça brand worldwide. It also gives very positive marks to the club’s current ability to generate new revenue, its excellent commercial positioning, and the competitiveness the team has shown on the pitch.

On the other hand, the agency has decided to change the outlook from "positive" to "stable." This change is due strictly to the execution timeline and financing of the final phase of Espai Barça, which currently requires extraordinary investment.

A gradual improvement from 2028 onward

However, analysts believe that this increase in debt is strictly temporary. All of the accumulated debt is directly linked to the completion of the works on the new Spotify Camp Nou, the main pillar of the club’s future.

In fact, the report forecasts a gradual improvement in the club’s financial profile starting in 2028. The full operation of the new stadium and the expected growth in ordinary revenue will be the engines that boost the blaugrana economy.

In short, maintaining the BBB rating becomes a major endorsement of the board of directors’ strategy. Espai Barça is officially reaffirmed as the transformative and indispensable project needed to guarantee the entity’s future growth.
