FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta is scheduled to travel to Copenhagen for the European Football Clubs (EFC) General Assembly on September 29 and 30. This marks a significant development following the club's recent return to the EFC, which ended a nearly five-year absence caused by their involvement in the now-defunct European Super League.
Laporta's attendance follows his recent participation in an ECA gathering in Rome as a guest, aimed at repairing Barcelona's relationship with the organisation. The club, which was one of the original 16 founding members of the ECA in 2008, has historically played a key role within the body. The Copenhagen assembly is also expected to host UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, who recently decided to award the 2029 Champions League final to Camp Nou.
Laporta will also journey to the Netherlands for the funeral of Ronald Koeman's wife, as well as attend memorials for other notable Barcelona figures, including Pep Guardiola.
