FC Barcelona has seen an increase in membership, surpassing 142,000 members, with over 10,000 new sign-ups last season. However, there is a notable decline in the percentage of season tickets available for fans to attend matches at Spotify Camp Nou, dropping from 85% to 55% as the club transitions to a new stadium. This trend indicates a growing membership yet a lesser engagement in attending games, which could be attributed to the ongoing renovations and the temporary nature of the club’s facilities.

Furthermore, the current trend of disconnection among members is also evident in the club's electoral process. In 2021, before the validation of candidate signatures, almost 25,000 ballots were collected for the elections. However, recent figures show that only 11,843 ballots have been gathered, suggesting a significant decrease in member participation and interest in club governance. This decline could have implications for the club’s management and decision-making processes moving forward.

The situation presents a paradox where FC Barcelona's membership is expanding, but active participation is waning. The reasons could involve the disruption caused by ongoing construction and a potential dissatisfaction with club performance and engagement strategies. As the club prepares to welcome fans back to the refurbished Camp Nou, it will need to address these aspects to reinvigorate member interest and participation in both match attendance and club governance.
