Morningstar DBRS has confirmed FC Barcelona's BBB credit rating, offering a strong signal of financial stability for the club. The rating agency's assessment underscores confidence in Barcelona's long-term economic trajectory, according to Yahoo News New Zealand.
"a major international vote of confidence in the club's economic solvency"
The agency points to the strength of the Barcelona brand, its revenue-generating capabilities, and commercial positioning as key factors supporting the rating, as reported by fcbarcelona.com. While acknowledging an increase in debt tied to the final phase of the Espai Barça stadium renovation, Morningstar DBRS views this as temporary.
"forecasts a gradual improvement in the club's financial profile from 2028 onward, when the fully renovated Spotify Camp Nou becomes operational"
The confirmation comes as Barcelona continues to navigate financial challenges while investing in its stadium project. The club's ability to maintain the BBB rating reflects confidence that the expanded Camp Nou will unlock significant new revenue streams, positioning the club for stronger performance later this decade.
