Barcelona has been unanimously readmitted as a member of the European Football Clubs (EFC) following its formal exit from the controversial European Super League, the LaLiga club confirmed on Friday.

The Catalan side officially withdrew from the Super League last week and immediately submitted its application to rejoin the EFC, which was formerly known as the European Club Association before being rebranded in October.

The EFC, representing over 800 clubs across Europe, plays a central role in shaping competitions, scheduling, financial frameworks, transfer rules, and commercial policies.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, EFC chairman and president of Paris Saint-Germain, personally presented Barcelona’s membership application to the board.

“EFC has expressed its satisfaction and honour in welcoming FC Barcelona back as an Ordinary Member and has conveyed its willingness to work closely with the club to define the next steps and specify its involvement within the organisation in this new stage,” Barcelona said.

“FC Barcelona views this decision very positively and reaffirms its commitment to working together with fellow European clubs for the benefit of football, its competitions and its supporters.”

Barcelona’s withdrawal from the Super League left Real Madrid as the sole remaining supporter of the breakaway competition. However, Real recently reached an agreement with UEFA to resolve their longstanding legal dispute.
